Not a bridge but an aqueduct. It forms
part of the Monmouthshire and Brecon Canal. The picturesque view can
be had from the road between Brecon and Llanfrynach, the B4558.
I took this picture on my third trip
across the bridge opposite.

On the map this mountain is nameless but
the picture is taken on the B4558 near Glanusk Farm looking more or less
to the west. In fact the tree belongs to the farm, I think. This is the
kind of picture that I had been hoping to take on this day. Unfortunately
the weather Gods wanted something different.

At the northern end of Talybont this dam
building juts out into the water. According to a plaque the construction
of Talybont was inaugurated in 1932 by His Worship the Mayor Councilor
Griffith J. Jones. J.P. No doubt a very important person at the time.
The picture looks very peaceful but only
hundred meters away there is an ice cream van with blaring music and many
parked cars.

| Another mountain, this time
with a name. It's Cefn Tarenni Cochion. The picture is taken in the bend
just after Abercynafon. |

The area between Talybont and
Pentwyn reservoirs is rich in waterfalls. This is one of them. Too bad that
photos don't come with sound. The constant trickling, babbling, rushing
sounds are as much part of the scenery as the visuals. |

This interesting piece of dam machinery
was on the Pentwyn side of the bridge between Pentwyn and Pontsticill
reservoirs. I wonder if it still fills its function.

In the other direction, looking
out over Pontsticill reservoir the view has a Scandinavian feel to it with
all the conifers. |
|
|
| Crossing the bridge, I happened
on this abandoned building. I liked the smooth, muscular trees juxtaposed
against the slowly sagging stonework. |
 |

|

|
This is at the southern end of Pontsticill.
It's ironic that such a utilitarian building would masquerade as nothing
more than a folly on the water. Still, this industrial romanticism speaks
to me.
