We have had so much rain here in New Zealand this winter that the hydro dam that is about 3kms from our town opened it's sluice gates.
Now, this may not seem like a big deal but in the 37 years I lived in this area it has never happened before. Also the dam is the last one in a series on the river & they had all filled to overflowing.
It made the national news & when they were first opened there was talk of evacuating some homes that are in lowlying areas.
So.... I dragged Adrian out there in the cold & wet, then made him drive to 4 different locations (one a no-entry access road for the dam workers), then I frogmarched him down a hill through the mud where he lost a shoe ... until I was happy that I had photos no-one else would be prepared to get.
I was stoked ... he was happy but cold & wet & possibly questioning my sanity :-)
I think he's now wondering why he ever brought me a camera in the first place!!
Still a fun morning was had by all ... well some ... well maybe just me :-)
Cheers for now,
Faith
