Description
In this enchanting photograph, the resplendent beauty of autumn takes center stage as it bathes the iconic Foel Tower at Garreg Ddu Dam in a warm, golden embrace. The serene Elan Valley in Wales serves as the perfect canvas for this picturesque scene.
As the sun peeks through the clouds, its gentle rays weave through the leaves of trees, casting a soft light that paints the landscape with a sense of tranquility and nostalgia. The reflection of the tower in the tranquil waters of the Garreg Ddu Dam creates a mirror-like image that doubles the splendor of the scene.
The Foel Tower, standing tall and proud against the backdrop of the Welsh hills, is transformed into a magnificent focal point. Its architectural details, kissed by the sunlight, are highlighted, showcasing the intricate craftsmanship of its design.
The autumnal foliage that surrounds the tower is an explosion of warm hues - fiery oranges, deep reds, and rich yellows - creating a harmonious symphony of colors that dance in harmony with the season. Leaves, kissed by the crisp, cool air of fall, rustle gently in the breeze, creating a soothing melody that adds to the sense of serenity.
This photograph captures the essence of autumn, a time when nature gracefully transitions from the vibrancy of summer to the quiet introspection of winter. It is a testament to the harmonious coexistence of human craftsmanship and the untamed beauty of the natural world, inviting viewers to pause and immerse themselves in the timeless allure of the Elan Valley in Wales.

Hi Dennis - I believe that is the normal waterline when the reservoir is topped up and overflowing. Glad you like the image. Joanne
