EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures a moment frozen in time, as a man and a boy stand overlooking the Tryweryn Valley near Bala, Merionethshire, Wales on 27th February 1957. Little did they know that their beloved valley would soon be flooded to create the Llyn Celyn reservoir.
In 1957, a private bill was passed by Parliament to flood the valley, sparking an intense legal battle that lasted eight years. Despite efforts to save it, the valley was ultimately submerged in 1965.
The expressions on the faces of the man and boy convey a mix of sadness and resignation as they gaze out at what will soon be lost forever. The presence of their loyal border collie adds an extra layer of emotion to this poignant scene.
This photograph serves as a reminder of the impact human actions can have on our environment and communities. It is a testament to the resilience of nature and the importance of preserving our natural landscapes for future generations.
Alex Dellow's skillful composition captures not only the physical beauty of Tryweryn Valley but also its cultural significance to the Welsh people. This print is sure to evoke strong emotions and provoke thoughtful reflection on environmental issues and conservation efforts.
