Lonely Tree Sunrise

Taken 40 minutes before actual sunrise time this morning.

I had arrived about an hour earlier, but by this time the light was starting to glow, and produce colour at

Dovestones Reservoir.

The reservoir scheme in the Greenfield Valley and Chew Valley by the Ashton-Under-Lyne, Stalybridge and Dukinfield Waterworks Joint Committee commenced in 1870. The scheme was completed with Dovestone Reservoir in 1968 to collect water from the surrounding moorland.

The main contractor was A.E. Farr (Civil Engineers) of Westbury, Wiltshire. Its construction was opposed by local mill owners, who claimed that damming the river would cut off their water supply.
