A visit to the Elan Valley in the spring is a fine day out. The surrounding hills are remote, wild and very soggy at the best of times, so after a thaw and then a lot of Spring rain the water pours down from the hills and fills the reservoirs to the point of spectacularly overflowing. Graig Goch is the top dam of the Elan Valley series, and is perhaps the finest with its elegant curve and arches - the best example of Birmingham
Baroque! The dam is 156m wide and 36m (118 feet) high, so when the water is overflowing it is a sight to behold.
I know it is a bit of a postcard shot - but when the view is this good, why not? For anyone going to photograph the dams in full flow, the morning is best to catch the sun on the water.
Another from a fine day out in the Elan Valley.

The valley of the Colorado River, in the midst of the island of Mull, is of breathtaking scenic beauty

Some late afternoon light breaking out above the cliffs of Craig Cau at the head Cwm Cau below Cadair Idris on what had been a murky and damp late afternoon, some light mist and drizzle persisting but most had lifted when this was taken about 50min before sunset. Taken at the outflow from Llyn Cau where the infant Nant Cadair begins it's journey down the cwm to the valley at Tal-y-llyn.

Craig Head is a mountain summit in the Moffat to Peebles region in the county of Scottish Borders, Scotland. Craig Head is 421 metres high with a prominence of 35 metres.
Having recently hosted my Montanan pal Craig, I started to look at photos linked with him. Craig and his family are lucky enough to own a large, if somewhat rustic cabin on the shores of Flathead Lake. Close by to the cabin is an island that has become the home of a good number of Bald Eagles. A short boat trip revealed a dozen of these magnificent birds. Alas they seemed quiet when we visited so I have no action images.
This was an old image I've forgotten about. With a new edit I've brought it back to life. The image was take at Trearddur Bay Anglesey.
Ailsa Craig, Scotland.
Ailsa Craig is an island of 240 acres in the outer Firth of Clyde, 16 km west of mainland Scotland, upon which microgranite has long been quarried to make curling stones. The now-uninhabited island comprises the remains of a magmatic pluton formed during the same period of igneous activity as magmatic rocks on the nearby Isle of Arran

Yesterday's tasking was to the Ailsa Craig lighthouse with some cargo and stores. The lighthouse was completed in 1886 and although automated like all others it still requires regular maintenance.
Isnt photography just magical. I had a day out a while back to photograph the milky way and found a few issues so armed with a little more kit we set off to the Elan Valley in Wales. It has been so frustrating waiting for clear skies and no moon but here it is. The foreground is half a dozen frames taken as darkness fell the sky is made up of around 30 90s exposures at 800 iso. I made mistakes and the stars have trailed a little but its still only a short night here in the uk so no chance to redo. Im really unsure how to edit this picture. its at night so should be in total darkness but then there would be no foreground. I love these old valve towers on the dam with their copper sheet roofs. A really enjoyable night. i used a really cheep little tracker by a company called MSM. all you need is something that turns the camera at 15 degrees an hour to counter the earths rotation. It helps a lot to keep the iso down and get a lot more colour in the milky way.

Barque James Craig is rightly famous around the world. She is Sydney’s only 19th Century square rigger (or Tall Ship) and her incredible restoration to full sailing condition was recognised in 2003 by the World Ship Trust’s award of their prestigious Maritime Medal. Her restoration cost almost $A30 million and took nearly 40 years to complete after she was rescued from Recherche Bay in far southern Tasmania.
The Craig Goch Dam, often called the Top dam, is a masonry dam in the Elan Valley of Wales and creates the upper-most of the Elan Valley Reservoirs. Construction on the dam began in 1897, and it was completed in 1904. The primary purpose of the dam and the other reservoirs is to supply Birmingham with water.
In 1874 the first meeting of the North Wales Quarrymen's Union was held on the large rock reflected in the lake. The quarry owners had forbidden meetings to be held on their time or property. As they owned most land in the locality this was effectively prohibiting the Union.
Lord Newborough, who wasn't a quarry owner but possibly liked to stir it a little on occasion, allowed circumvention of the prohibition by granting permission to hold meetings here, on land which he owned.
Passing underneath is the old road to Llanberis, now a pleasant footpath and cycle track.
