Notes on PENYGARREG RESERVIOR, Elan Valley, Powys 2004

Cwm Elan is a spectacular place. I know some locals find it a little too picturesque but I have no qualms and am happy to wander the lengths of it lakes and spy former workings all day. This particular image was taken before sunrise on a frosty February morning. An exposure of 16 minutes was used and this has caused the fast moving clouds to record as a blur on the print.
