'Silent Valley'... • • www.facebook.com/22over7.FineArtPhotography • • An engineering marvel. • • Location: Silent Valley, County Down, United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland • • • The reservoir was built to gather water from the mountains over most of the High Mourne's. Unlike the rest of County Down, the Mournes are made of granite. The mountains were slowly formed around 50 million years ago when the much older sedimentary rocks weakened and gradually sank deeper into the earth’s crust. This allowed ‘younger’ granite to rise and replace the old rock on the surface in a dome shape. Granite is a hard, tough rock with a grainy appearance. Unfortunately it contains few natural minerals and develops a thin ‘peaty’ topsoil. So it only supports plants such as heather and certain grasses that can live in acidic conditions. Since the Mournes were formed they have gone through periods of extreme heat and cold, the most recent being a series of ice ages which ended 10,000 years ago. Glaciers in Silent Valley widened and deepened the valley and left the valley floor covered with glacial soil and rock which created major problems during the building of the dam. As long ago as 1678 the Corporation of Belfast saw the need for a “plentiful supply of good water”. By the Industrial Revolution, a growing population and the growth of the linen, ship-building and engineering industries led to an increased demand on Belfast’s water supply. The Belfast Water Commissioners were forced to look for a new source beyond the Belfast hills that surround the city. The land around Slieve Binnian and Ben Crom was chosen as it was free from industry and pollution and had around 70 inches of rain each year. • • • www.naquinnphotography.com • • #22over7FineArtPhotography #SilentValley #Mournes #photographer #NorthernIrelandWater #BenCromDam #granite #Scenic #artiseverywhere #pictoftheday #insta_ni #instapic #instaphoto #instaphotograph #pictureoftheday #nofilter #nofilterneeded #art #fstoppers #FstoppersTravel #photooftheday #instagood #instagram #instadaily #travelgram #mytravelgram #localhistory #igers #igersoftheday (at Silent Valley Reservoir) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1nlMrDhLYL/?igshid=4cfk6onnzrgt
