THERE is one way to see how pretty the area we live in is, and that is to check out the South Wales Guardian Camera Club.

Our members - and there's more than 560 of them - regularly take stunning photos from all across the Ammanford, Amman Valley, Towy Valley, Gwendraeth Valley and Swansea Valley areas highlighting the local landmarks, wildlife and scenes.

Here are some of our recent favourites.
