Back garden, lit by moonlight
This is the back garden of a house near Ammanford, lit entirely by moonlight and some ambient street light. The house is crowned by the "Plough" constellation. Note the second top star of the pan-handle. Even at this resolution, you can clearly see two stars in the picture - Alcor and Mizar, one of the few binary star systems visible to the human eye, used as an ancient eye test - you had good vision if you could see both with the naked eye.

Sundog / Parhelia
A phenomenon seen when fine ice crystals in the upper atmosphere refracts the sun's rays. A halo (parhelic circle) forms at 22º around the sun when it's close to the horizon on crisp evenings (just visible in this photograph) and two "mock suns" appear on either side of the sun at 90º and 270º, often being seen as two tiny rainbows.
The sun in this picture is way overexposed causing it to seem bloated (and actually damaged the camera's CCD while taking this picture!)

Decaying sign
As a remnant of the closed mine, possibly this rusty sign may well be still in use by new tenants to direct traffic back down the road...
