Constructed in 1885, the reservoir has a diameter of 20m and a height of 6m with an original capacity of almost 2,000,000 litres. The reservoir was decommissioned in 1990. Source: http://www.hunterwater.com.au/1012.aspx

Photo number #26 wow, that’s halfway through the year since starting this challenge! I was told about this location from another photography enthusiast and it was well worth the effort to take a look. The HDR gives a surreal feel to the pics. Newcastle also gets some great sunsets and when I spotted a few clouds on the horizon I was certain I’d get something good. The sunset shots haven’t been altered, just cropped. Below is an old construction photo I found whilst researching the reservoir.
