The Lochan na Lairige reservoir

.

A look at this stark reservoir on the edge of the Ben Lawers mountain range. It is retained by the Lawers Dam as shown in the PiP. At 2km long it is not so very big but has a wild attraction. The water is piped to the Finlarig Power Station (part of the Breadalbeane Hydro-electric power scheme) on the edge of the much larger Loch Tay a few miles lower down the mountain.

Best full screen.

Enjoy the day.

Der Stausee sieht nicht sehr gefüllt aus. Aber das wird sicher wieder mehr. Eine tolle Aufnahme mit beeindruckender Landschaft. Guten Morgen, Herb!

Herb Riddle replied to LotharW:

Thanks Lothar. Very happy that you like this wild-Scotland shot. It is a Hydro-electric reservoir and so water may be taken out and then pumped back in all the time?

Best Wishes. Herbert

Herb Riddle replied to TOZ:

Wild Scotland up here Toz. We drove the single track road on its right bank all the way and further to get to Glen Lyon. Many people stop along that same road to climb the seven Monro's of the Ben Laws range. Glad you liked it.

Cheers. Herb

Definitely wild Scotland.........................vast and rugged. The mountains and. hills look very impressive. The grey skies suit this scene perfectly and the light is still pretty good,

Beautifully composed and taken Herb !
