We posted a set of photos of the Old Town Hall and Court House in Merthyr Tydfil to Flickr, click here to see them.
A local photographer made a wonderfully insightful comment, writing that the photo had “an almost 2D feel to it as though it is part of a film set”.
There are many other buildings thereabouts that could form part of a film......
Merthyr Tydfil town is a goldmine of fascinating sights for the passing photographer. There are many sculptures and other interesting landmarks, the Carnegie Library, old County Court, several Churches and Chapels, and of course the people of Merthyr itself!
When walking through the town centre, cast your head back high and take a look at some of the architectural detail high-up on the older buildings. Some of it is breathtaking.
On a walk from Merthyr town centre to the Pontmorlais area of town, we snapped some photos of the Hope and Market Square United Church.

The largest sculpture in Wales stands at 12 metres and weighs a colossal eleven tonnes.
Kite Trail by Carmarthenshire based artist Andrew Rowe was commissioned a part of a regeneration project and stands as a seafront market at Aberavon beach.
It was installed in December 2007 and stands opposite the Aquadome and next to Franco’s chip shop.
Work on the footings remains unfinished. There is also a much smaller ‘tail’ sculpture that accompanies the larger ‘kite’. When finished, the sculpture will be illuminated at night.

Dwi fel pob Cymro arall yn croesi pob dim ar hyn o bryd yn y gobaith y bydd tîm rygbi cymru'n efelychu llwyddiant 2005 drwy ennill y gamp lawn. Ar y diwrnod hwnnw roedd cyngor y ddinas wedi codi sgrîn anferthol o flaen neuadd y ddinas ac fel y gwelwch o'r llun isod daeth torf anferthol yno i'w wylio. Roeddwn i a Sarah wedi cyrraedd yno yhydig cyn i'r gêm ddechrau, ac roedd gennyf lond sach o ganiau Brains ('cwrw sywddogol tîm rygbi Cymru' dim llai) - ond allai Sarah ddim gweld dim. Cawsom alwad ffôn gan ffrind Sarah i ddweud bod hi ychydig lathennau i ffwrdd yn St Andrews Crescent yn gwylio'r gêm ar sgrîn fawr yn boardroom cwmni cyfriethwyr ble roedd ei phartner yn gweithio, a cawsom wahoddiad i ymuno â nhw. Roedd rhai o bartneriaid y cwmni yn digwydd bod yn Wyddelod cefnog...

Os oes gyda chi Pro Account Flickr, yna gallwch rwan weld ystadegau ymweld ar gyfer eich lluniau. Dwi newydd adnewyddu fy nghyfrif unwaith eto. Does dim syniad gyda fi faint gostiodd Flick pan gafodd ei brynnu gan Yahoo yn 2005, ond gyda aelodau yn talu £12.50 y flwyddyn a synnwn i ddim os nad oes dros filiwn o aelodau ganddynt, hefyd oes rhywun eriod wedi gweld hysbyseb Flickr? Does dim angen un, mae'n gallu dibynnu ar ddefnyddwyr a blogwyr i'w hyrwyddo (jyst fel hyn).Ond yn ôl ata i. Diolch i'r stori Digg, mae dros 10,000 o bobl wedi edrych ar y llun...
Er bod erthygl ar wefan yBBC yn dweud y byddai wedi ei gwbwlhau y penwythnos yma, pan gerddais heibio ddoe, roedd tipyn o waith i fynd ar ymgais record y byd i greu'r llwy caru mwyaf erioed. Dylai edrych yn dda wedi iddo orffen. Tra'n chwilio am lun gwell nag un fi uchod, darganfyddais bod mainc siap llwy garu ym Mharc Bute yn barod....

While searching Flickr for an other/better photo than my own, I discovered there's already a bench in Bute Park in the style of a love...

Britain, Britain, Britain land of sculptures, too many of which depict a fascination for war, war, war.
And then in 2005 the Alison Lapper Pregnant by Marc Quinn was unveiled in the heart of London.
She is situated in Trafalgar Square named after the 1805 naval battle during the Napoleonic wars.
For companions she has bronze statues of British generals and other members of the warrior aristocracy.
Along with Sir Edwin Landseer’s four couchant lions guarding Nelson’s Column.
Lapper is depicted naked and heavily pregnant.
The material used is Carraran marble, also famously used for Marble Arch, London.
The sculptor Marc Quinn writes eloquently about his work thus :
