Not sure whether this is really relevant on this forum so I understand if it gets deleted but thought I'd share it as its quite interesting.

This is the remains of the dam around Llyn Eigiau in north wales. In 1925 the dam failed flooding the village below killing 16 people. You can see where the dam broke down and it makes you think just how much water was contained within the walls!
