Overflow fence

An early Autumn view of my local Dove Stones Reservoir. Just over twelve months ago the water level was almost 5metres below the top of this bell-mouth drop-shaft overflow. You can imagine that we would not want to fall down here, hence the fence –that also keeps rubbish from floating over. The water running down here simply drops into a deep tunnel and quickly out at the bottom of the dam wall into the river. The water in the dam supplies drinking water to the surrounding area. Enjoy the light.
I wish you all, a great weekend, Herb
