EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this stunning, photograph of Silent Valley in County Down, Northern Ireland, circa early 1900s. The serene image captures the beauty and tranquility of the area, with the still waters of the reservoir reflecting the surrounding mountains of the Mournes. The name 'Silent Valley' is said to have originated from the peaceful and quiet atmosphere of the valley, which was a welcome respite from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Located in the heart of County Down, the reservoir was built in the late 1800s to provide water to the growing population of Belfast. The construction of the reservoir and the associated hydroelectric power station brought significant economic growth to the area. The mountains in the background of the photograph are part of the Mourne Mountains, a range of granite peaks that stretch along the eastern coast of Northern Ireland. The Mournes are renowned for their natural beauty and are a popular destination for hikers and outdoor enthusiasts. The photograph provides a glimpse into the past, offering a window into the history and heritage of Northern Ireland. The image is a reminder of the natural wonders that exist in our world and the importance of preserving them for future generations to enjoy.
