Lake Vyrnwy

I’ve had a week away from my ‘day job’ primarily to prepare the garden ready for the Winter months. However I did allow for time-out to take Mrs H and our dogs to Lake Vyrnwy, in Powys, some 60 miles in a westerly direction just over the Welsh border. Although it is called ‘lake’ it is actually a reservoir built in the 1880’s to supply the city of Liverpool with fresh drinking water.

Naturally I took a camera with me although experience tells me that trying to concentrate on taking photographs with three dogs in tow is generally a recipe for disaster. They do tend to get a bit impatient if I stay still for more than about a minute and so even though I take a tripod with me it rarely gets taken out of its bag. Here are a few that I did manage to take (hand-held!). The light was good with few hard shadows although the sky was overcast and a bit featureless.

It was good to take some landscape-type shots and I enjoyed looking for interesting compositions. I really must try and make the effort to take more.
