Storm Arwen has managed to create a 'masterpiece' among its trail of devastation - blasting tonnes of grass so hard the blades wove themselves perfectly onto a fence and left admirers believing it was handmade.
Landscape photographer Colin Richards braved the weather on Sunday, November 28, to walk up Mynydd Pwll-yr-Iwrch, Bridgend, when he came across an 'unbelievable' sight stretching across 130 metres of fencing.
Photos taken by the dad-of-one on the hill summit show the brown moor grass completely entwined in the barbed wire structure and it's even been branded the "best fence ever".

The 61-year-old said that the strong northerly winds had uprooted a sea of molinia - a type of moor grass - and wrapped every blade around the entire fence that created an illusion that it had been "handwoven".
The home carer shared his images online where they have amassed more than 7,760 likes, comments and shares - and the "amazing" structure has also been dubbed the "waffle fence".
Colin, of Maesteg, said: "It looks man-made but if you had a look at that you'd be up there for years - it's 130 metres long, it goes on and on and on.
"I thought the pictures were so unusual and I shared them that evening. Everyone seems to like them and some people are not convinced that it's natural.
"With the northerly winds coming off all the other hills it picked up tonnes of grass and the only thing in its way was this fence.
"When I nipped over this gate and looked up the line of the fence and saw what a lot of people are calling 'waffles' or 'the waffle fence'.
"Every blade of grass has wrapped itself around posts, barbed wire and the panels of the fence itself. It just looks like someone has woven it by hand. It was unbelievable."
The amateur photographer said he's been visiting this particular hill in Maesteg since the age of 10 and that the gale-force winds had also pulled around three posts completely from the ground.
The photographer of 40 years uploaded his pictures onto Facebook and said he "couldn't believe" the response he received as they'd been shared more than 3,900 times.
