Dam



Told ya!
Above you see the Vyrnwy Dam in north Powys. This feeds the city of Liverpool.
I decided to visit the dams of Powys before the year was out. So that's Elan, Claerwen, Brianne, Vyrnwy and... ah! been passed and driven over but not stopped for a shot. I better get myself back to the Clywedog and get off a few shots.
I was up at the above last sunday. Sadly, i was not alone but a lateish night meant being up later than i might otherwise have been.
The best non-nature sight was the chap riding a large wheeled unicycle. One could but smile as he hove in to view.



Damnit! but the weather did play ball and i was so
pleased to see this shot waiting to be taken.




I left Vyrnwy taking the less used mountain pass road that leads to Bala. Another home to a lake but in Gwynedd as this was. It reminds me much of the Abergwesyn Pass. And i didn't meet anyone in any awkward spots which made it an even better experience.
