EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "Dolygaer Chapel: A 19th Century Welsh Chapel Submerged by the Taff Fechan Reservoir" This evocative photograph captures the haunting beauty of Dolygaer Chapel, a 19th century place of worship now transformed into a private residence nestled amidst the tranquil waters of the Taff Fechan Reservoir in Wales. The chapel, once a vibrant center of the small village of Dolygaer, was unfortunately submerged when the reservoir was constructed in the late 19th century. The image transports us back in time, as we can see the intricate details of the chapel's stone walls, its tall, narrow windows, and the remnants of its once-majestic steeple, all now surrounded by the still, reflective surface of the reservoir. The surrounding landscape, with its lush greenery and rolling hills, adds to the serene atmosphere, creating a striking contrast between the past and the present. Despite the chapel's newfound isolation, it remains a testament to the rich history and culture of the Welsh village that once thrived here. The image invites us to reflect on the passage of time and the ways in which human progress can both preserve and disrupt the natural and built environments. This photograph, taken in the 19th century, offers a poignant reminder of the village's past and the stories that lie beneath the surface of the Taff Fechan Reservoir. Today, Dolygaer Chapel stands as a symbol of the enduring power of history and the importance of preserving the past for future generations.
