Description

I posted an image of Chagford reservoir a while ago, but as I go there often, here is another, though from the actual dam area. I'd really have liked to have been able to cross the bridge but the gate was locked. The wall holding back the millions of tons of water is completely accessible and gives one pause for thought when standing behind it. No second grade granite here, methinks! I have taken a couple of images from that side and shall post them soon. I'm hoping that this weather holds awhile longer, as I intend returning there this week, Barney, picnic basket, book and camera in tow. I've rarely met anyone else there, despite the beauty and peace of the place, so it's rather nice just to sit watching the sea birds flit here and there and to actually feed them without someone complaining about their squawking! Thank you for taking the time to look. ^=^
