Our featured photo is a beautiful composition by Tenby Camera Club Photographer of the Year Dave ‘Bodie’ Bolton.

Here are some others by Dave, who often shares his wonderful images in the ‘Picture This: Tenby Observer Photography Club’ Facebook group, and also sells his images from The Nook store in Tenby.

Dave said: “Up close is best… but hold on to that camera, King Canute will surely take it for himself!” (Dave Bolton Images)

Lucy Crockford has continued to brighten up the group with some photographs capturing the elation of a Tenby sunrise.

Meanwhile, Christine Poharyski found the magic in the opposite end of the day in a whole series of pictures concentrating on changes in the sky over St Catherine’s Island.

Quentin Elston also pointed camera to sky to catch a pair of swallows over Tenby.

But it’s not just nature that has attracted photographers’ attention in the past month. There is also plenty of interest in walls and alleyways, as in Quentin’s black and white shot of Tenby Town Wall. Now open to the sun, this historic wall would a few years ago have been patterned with leaf shadows from a row of horse chestnuts along South Parade that was removed after the trees were found to be carrying a fungal infection in 2017.

Quentin says many visitors to Tenby will probably walk straight past St Nicholas Lane on their way to the harbour or the beach; others may notice the ancient walls with interest.

Formerly ‘the lane that time forgot’, Tenby’s St Nicholas Lane is now one of the most vibrant and beautiful spots in the seaside town, as regular contributor Elizabeth Fitzpatrick highlights.

Tucked away between the Town Walls and Upper Frog Street, the cobbled Brychan Yard is the site of the former Cobourg Hotel stables. It is named after the father of two Grand National winners, Dick and Lewis Rees. It was also the home of a Roman Catholic chapel in the late 1800s.

And, talking of history, Elizabeth also shared some snapshots taken on a royal visit to Tenby a few years ago. The one below shows Queen Camilla - as she is now known - amid children in Tenby’s Tudor Square.

Glenn McLelland’s black and white photo celebrates two of Tenby’s Lifeboat Houses - the former and the present one - both located off Castle Hill.

Glenn also contributed this wide view of South Beach that was taken in June and gives a very different perspective on Tenby.

To finish, one picture NOT taken in Tenby! Ruth Ashworth asks whether the aptly named Church Rock at Broadhaven South beach in Pembrokeshire is the most photographed rock ever?
