North Wales is home to some impressive and dramatic bodies of water, both natural and man-made, with the Llyn Brenig reservoir in the Denbigh Moors up there with the best of them.
Constructed in the 1970s to manage the flow of water into the river Dee and protect supplies for North Wales and Liverpool in times of drought, Llyn Brenig has become a magnet for water sports, fishing, and hiking.
My wife Liz and I visit here quite regularly on our trips around North Wales, checking out the many and varied locations around the lake's perimeter.
The most popular walks are those close to the visitors' centre (naturally enough), situated at the dam end of the reservoir.
And it was from the top of the dam itself that we paused in our hike so I could capture the multiple overlapping images needed to create this sweeping panoramic collage, featuring a 180° view encompassing the entire width of Llyn Brenig lit with a patchwork of sunlight and shadow from the broken cloud cover overhead.
Just a wonderful place to spend an afternoon.
