Capel Celyn - A Lost Village in the Tryweryn Valley
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a poignant moment in history - the village of Capel Celyn nestled peacefully in the Tryweryn Valley, Wales, on 27th February 1957. Little did its residents know that their idyllic way of life was about to be forever changed. In an effort to create the Llyn Celyn reservoir, a private bill passed by Parliament sealed Capel Celyn's fate. The valley would soon be flooded, displacing its inhabitants and erasing this picturesque village from existence. This image serves as a haunting reminder of what once was. The absence of people allows us to focus on the serene beauty of this rural scene. A stream flows gently through the heart of the village, reflecting sunlight onto quaint houses lining its banks. The road winds through lush green fields, leading our imagination towards lives lived within these now-vacant homes. Photographer Alex Dellow expertly captures both the tranquility and impending tragedy in this composition. His use of black and white adds a timeless quality to this archival piece while emphasizing contrasts between light and shadow. As we gaze upon this evocative photograph, we are reminded not only of lost heritage but also broader environmental issues that often accompany progress. Capel Celyn stands as a symbol for communities affected by human intervention into nature's delicate balance. This thought-provoking print invites contemplation on our responsibility towards preserving cultural
