If the Hereford Photography Festival has whetted your appetite for the medium, make sure you see Galanthus Gallery's autumn exhibition, which features a new series of black and white prints by Presteigne photographer Gareth Rees-Roberts.
Titled The Wreck of the Armada, the series celebrates the story of an avenue of extraordinary, gnarled and knotted Spanish chestnut trees in Llanfihangel Crucorney, near Abergavenny.
The demise of these remarkable old trees (apparently ornate urns containing chestnuts were salvaged from the remains of the Spanish Armada and the contents planted to celebrate the great victory) is documented in pictures, which range from startlingly beautiful to downright spooky.
The exhibition also includes work by emerging fine artist, Max Suffield.
Max graduated this summer from Herefordshire College of Art and Design with a BA in design crafts and a new direction for his work. His current pieces use materials gathered from the rural environment - seeds, thorns, flower heads - arranged meticulously in beautiful box frames to produce near-surreal works of art.
James and Tilla Waters' pottery completes the exhibition. The couple met when they worked together as apprentices to renowned Shropshire potter Rupert Spira. In their Welsh studio they make functional ceramics with clean lines and in lovely colours.
The exhibition continues until November 15. The gallery is open 10am-5pm, six days a week (closed Wednesdays).

You will find Galanthus in Wormbridge, right on the A465 main road between Hereford and Abergavenny.
