Dam Overflowing.

This was taken yesterday. We went (furniture) shopping not far from the Elan Valley so I persuaded Mr C to take a detour. I thought the dams might be overflowing after all the rain we've had and I wasn't disappointed. I tried to get closer but the spray was so severe I feared for my camera.

What a great shot, though slightly scary if you are downstream.

Does this happen often?

@virtualbrownie @gilbertwood @chimfa @foxes37 Thank you for your lovely comments. It happens in winter (when the reservoirs are already high) after a lot of rain.

@beryl Thank you Beryl. We'd been to Llanidloes before we made the detour to the Elan Valley. How did you know that??

[Beryl Lloyd]

@susiemc Ha ha --elementary dear (Watson ) Sue !! You said you were looking for furniture ! and where best the to Hafren Furnishings in Llanidloes --And not too far from you !! I haven't been there for years but when my husband was alive we would come there occasionally for a bargain especially in those days they would deliver free to Shropshire !!

@beryl Clever lady! We love it at Hafren but always buy more than we went for.
