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 pile of multi hued spoil rocks caught my eye, with yellowish rocks in the foreground, pinkish rocks in the background and interesting grey clouds overhead.
Using a polarising filter, really allowed the colours of the rocks to shine through.
