I really haven't got a clue but I'll have a guess at Llyn Badarn in Llanberis.

The perspective of the photo tends to make the foreground look like grass and the "Ark" just a small model.   If the vegetation is not grass then it could be a reasonable size.  I get the impression that it is on a river rather than a lake, and possibly a tidal one for it to get beached.

I'll have a guess as it being on the Conwy River between Conwy and Betws - y Coed, let's say Llanwrst just to pin it down.

So are you saying it is a model?     _))*

Could be anywhere you placed it - your back garden for example but that's within the Three towns.

No, but you are warm Hollins, you obviously picked up on my clue ! and Yes it is a model, but I don't have a river in my back garden, so it isn't there.

It is certainly where there is a DAM but I don't know the area well enough except for Hollins punt at Lake Vyrnwy which was dammed up to form a reservoir to collect and send water to Liverpool.  A couple of villages lie underneath the waters.   The river has the same name as the Lake.

Lake Vyrnwy perhaps?

Well done Hugo. It is part of the sculpture park below the dam at Lake Vyrnwy. Sadly it has all become very neglected-- something to do with change of ownership of the area which used to be Severn Trent Water, but has now been divided between 4 owners. It was a gloomy day and it made the sight of alot of the wood carvings even worse! The Noah's ark was one of the better ones-- the famous leaping dolphins looked like a pile of firewood. :(
