THE sunrise over Selsley Common on a cold and frosty morning creates a wonderful light on the Stroudwater canal at Bridgend.

Two pairs of swans and their families are starting to mark out and defend their territory for the coming year.

Though in winter colours the canal and its surroundings look stunning.

Well worth the early morning cold to catch the first rays of the sun bringing the morning brightness to Stonehouse.
