To welcome in the new year we asked our camera club members to share pictures of their favourite sights from around Gwent. There is plenty of inspiration here to get out and enjoy our wonderful part of the world. This is just a small selection of the pictures shared by members of the South Wales Argus Camera Club and you can see more by visiting the SWACC page on Facebook. More than 3,900 people are signed up as camera club members. Why not join them?
