WE love to celebrate just how special the area in which we live is, and one way we do that is though showcasing your pictures in the South Wales Guardian Camera Club.

Our members - and there's more than 570 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.
