Garreg Ddu Dam, sunset
A low, completely submerged dam, the Garreg Ddu maintains a constant supply of water to Birmingham by retaining water on the upstream side so that water can be extracted at the Foel Tower to allow gravity feed. Construction started on the dam in 1895 and it was completed in 1904. Of note is the Victorian styling. - David James (photographer)

(26th May 2022)Really enjoying your superb images David. This is quite a powerful image, with almost a sepia tone running through it. Absolutely stunning, as are the others in this set.
(30th May 2022)Great use of the light and filter in the final Image, gives the Image great depth and drama.
