Hartbeespoort Dam Wall

Just to follow up on my blip! BIG is obviously better!

C and I went back to where I shot yesterday's blip, it really looks better this morning, although 'our BBQ and table' are still standing in a bit of water, the benches are visible now but the lawn beyond it is still under water.

But this morning we were able to cross the dam wall! What a sight!! I just had to try to make a collage of the thundering water! I must warn you though, I am not an expert on collages, but this is the best I could do!

The left hand picture shows all 10 sluise gates are open, some not completely open, no 1 and 2 are wide open, whilst 3, 4, 5 and 6 are not completely opened, 7 is wide open again, the rest are just partly opened!

The right hand picture shows the water tumbling and thundering down to the Crocodile River! I wish I could blip the sound for you! It is quite frightening and made me realise the power of nature once more! Awesome sight!

I always think of the first time I ever blipped the Crocodile River for you, and some of you asked how'd I get the water to look só green!! Today it doesn't even look like the same river, the forse of the stormwater is just too big, it took quite a lot of the greenness with it, and of course, the water will look quite muddy, due to the force it's coming down with, taking lots of mud with it!
