Admirable et excellente prise de vue.
Bon dimanche.

Very well composed; like the moody PiPs too !!
Enjoy your Sunday.

Great Image Herb that is low long time since I have been to Dovestones will have to put that right.
Best Gordon

Yes it must be as low as the one's you have recently visited over the hills. Glad you enjoyed it.

Best. Herb

Love the series specially the second PIP: outstanding wide angle pic

I love all three pictures Herb! Let's hope the reservoirs are soon filled. Only problem is, that means rain and I'm enjoying the dry weather ;-))

Sunday greetings,
Rosa.

We generally have more than enough rain to fill these but not this year. One wonders how long it will take to fill up again.

Best Wishes. Herb

Awesome captures, Herb!

Extreme drought!!
An impressive series, Herb!!

Thanks Judite. the PiPs were taken some time ago.

Regards. Herb

Herb is is Australian standards not what I would expect from a UK dam. you cant tell me the weather has not gone haywire in a big way... I truly hope this is filled back to what is should be.

46 years ago I came to WA I was told to go look at the level of water in the dams, yes they where down. Some twenty years ago I looked again in the old water high mark there are now trees growing and even lower and they continue to grow. for all the rain we seem to have had we are just so far behind we never seem to catch up. HOPE YOU DO.

Looks like you are right there Steve. This is more like your Aus than Northern England. It has been almost as low at least twice before and always filled back up again. It all depends on our Winter. Usually there is a lot of rain here now but we only get dribs and drabs. You see the new grass and green growing here on the ground that is usually metres under water so yes it is possible that one day trees might grow here.
As someone joked yesterday on one of our BBC satire programs yesterday re the heat- 'not to worry - nuclear winter is just around the corner!'

Take care. Herb

Despite (or perhaps because of) the low water levels this is a fantastic shot Herb. The green of the hills contrast well with the earthy colours of the foreground. I love your use of the tree trunk to anchor the shot.

Assuming the water levels recover over the winter, I suspect this may end up being the first and last time you get a shot of the reservoir like this.

Two lovely PiPs.............a nice reminder of the lone tree that you like so much, and which I've seen before and lovely shot of the reservoir from 2015 which was new to me and I have now commented on.

Wonderful image!

Another great view, Herb !
