Dan Wood spent years documenting the area and its characters

When Dan Wood was a young boy, he would travel along part of the Bwlch mountain pass with his mum to visit relatives.

Sat in the front seat of the red car, it was Dan's "first taste of a road trip" - and one that he recalls vividly.

Now, more than 35 years later he has captured a series of photographs that depict the area.

An exhibition of the project, titled 'Gap in the Hedge', will run from September 6-15 at the Workers Gallery in Ynyshir. He said he consciously wanted to put minimal or no captions on the images, in a bid to allow viewers to draw their own conclusions from the images.

A book featuring the work can also be purchased.

Here are some of the striking pictures from his collection.
