Surely one of the most dramatic man-made landscapes in Wales, this is the Parys Mountain copper mine on the beautiful Isle of Anglesey.
Now abandoned and turned into a historical reserve, this huge hole in the ground is an unreal kaleidoscope of colours as the various ores leach from the rocks.
This cave entrance caught my eye, as a small black accent set in a sea of abstract colours and textures.
Photographed under grey skies, and using a polarising filter, really allowed the colours of the rocks to shine through.
