Even after 40 years it never gets boring

IT’S been a year spent travelling around Wales capturing all kinds of events.

The National Eisteddfod in Cardiff, which was held across various city venues, was a different experience this year.

Weather caused destruction in Holyhead, sand storms on the Llŷn peninsula and extensive wild fires.

Of course, the beautiful scenery provided a fantastic backdrop to many of my pictures and reminds me how fortunate I am to work here.

After more than 40 years as a news photographer, this job never gets boring and I am looking forward to 2019 in the knowledge that there will be many new experiences.

1) Iron Man at Zip World, 2) a stunt horse at Llanberis, 3) Gwynedd grass fire in the hot summer, 4) Holyhead marina devastated by Storm Emma, 5) Mike Peters at Snowdon Rocks, 6) the National Eisteddfod and 7) a sand storm at Abersoch.
