Sand art on Barry Island tells visitors to 'Bin it!'
A piece of sand art 50 metres tall and 100 metres wide was seen on Barry Island yesterday.
The art, made by local artist Din Evans, shows an image of man placing rubbish in a bin with the message 'Bin it!'.
It is part of a campaign being rolled out by the Vale of Glamorgan Council to coincide with the August Bank Holiday weekend to encourage visitors not to litter.

The artwork is the first of three that will be created over the remainder of the summer season.
The beach is raked and a litter pick carried out every morning, while extra litter-picking is undertaken on weekend evenings.
Regular announcements are also made over the public address system to remind people to dispose of their waste responsibly.
In addition to this the council has installed water fountains to help people cut down on single-use plastics.
