taken 15 years ago, near to Llanafan, Ceredigion/Sir Ceredigion, Wales

Hoarfrost-covered grass, Grogwynion
Hoarfrost-covered grass, Grogwynion
The gravel banks in the Afon Ystwyth at Grogwynion are rich in heavy metals due to past mining activity on the adjacent hillsides. This prevents many plant species which would normally populate such areas from getting hold here. One of the plant species that thrives here is this broadleaved sedge. The individual leaves are about 10-12mm across.
