The Llyn Stwlan reservoir, North Wales, Tuesday last week.Well known for the winding road that leads up to it.

Magnificent 360.  The landscape there is really spectacular.  

Amazing picture

Awesome Pano

Awesome 360,    and super weather for it.

Cool place. One wonders where all the water comes from as there doesn't seem to be all that much higher ground...

Stunning viewpoint.

Have you seen how much it rains here in North Wales???

Na, just kidding - well not about the rain that's not what's filling the reservoir by it's own - it's a pumped power station reservoir.

From Wikipedia:

The Ffestiniog Power Station is a 360-megawatt (MW) pumped-storage hydroelectricity scheme near Ffestiniog, in Gwynedd, north-west Wales. The power station at the lower reservoir has four water turbines, which can generate at full capacity within 60 seconds of the need arising. The scheme has a storage capacity of around 1.44 GWh (5.2 TJ) at maximum output for four hours, and the capacity to power the whole of North Wales for several hours.

The station, commissioned in 1963, was the first major pumped storage system in the UK.The upper reservoir is Llyn Stwlan, 170,000 cubic metres (6,000,000 cu ft), which discharges 27 cubic metres per second (950 cu ft/s) of water to the turbine generators at the power station on the bank of Tanygrisiau reservoir. The building of the lower reservoir increased the size of Llyn Ystradau and flooded the route of the Ffestiniog Railway which had to build a deviation around the reservoir and power station.

Amazing shot. How did you get it to 'animate' like that? I thought I was watching a video given the motion.

Amazing 360, that’s some beautiful country.

That's what the site does when you pull in a 360 panorama from skypixel
