Pitlochry by night



These shots were taken in 2006 shortly after I got my DSLR. They show the Pitlochry Dam and lake in Perth and Kinross. The beautiful stillness of the water reflecting the stunning sky caught my attention. The Dam itself is bathed in yellow lighting which gives a dramatic look to the structure as you approach from downstream. A truly excellent place to visit. Provision was built into the dam, for trout to travel upstream and a camera and infra-red monitor was installed so that visitors could see the trout as they pass through the special underwater tubes on their journey up river.
