Northern Ireland: The Silent Valley Reservoir (with video)

The Silent Valley Reservoir is a reservoir in the Mourne Mountains. It provides water for County Down, surrounding counties and Belfast. It was built between 1923 and 1933 by a workforce of over 1000 men. The Silent Valley get more water from the Annalong valley through the Binnian Tunnel which was opened in 1952.
 
It's a beautiful place to visit. You can walk on the side in the middle of the mountain all the way to the dam. 
 
The name Silent Valley is supposed to come from the absence of bird life during the long construction project.
 
Here is the video.



And here are some pictures.

Northern Ireland: Belfast, Botanic Gardens and Queen's University (with video)

The Botanic Gardens are located on Stranmillis Road in Queen's Quarter adjacent to Queen's University. They opened as private Royal Gardens in 1828 and stay private until 1895 when they became a public park. 
 
They have a beautiful palm house with two wings, one cool, one tropical. The Palm House has a dome with a higher ceiling to feature taller species. It also has a 400-year-old Xanthorrhoea. 
 
At one of the entrances you can find a statue of Lord Kelvin, a physicist born in Belfast.

The Botanic Gardens hosts concerts and outdoor screenings of ballets and operas from the Royal Opera House.

Queen's University was founded in 1810. It is the root of Belfast's academic life. The part you'll see on the pictures is called the Lanyon Building. It's the main entrance leading to an inner court yard.
