Somerset Dam Wall

[jjjnettie]

Took a drive over to Somerset Dam this morning.
Getting over the bridge into Kilcoy is another thread.:lol:
They've opened up the 2 lower valves and the water is just belting out.
An awesome display of power.:eyepop:

On the second photo, you can see that they are just opening up the second valve. Once it was fully open, that's when all the spray started.

Great pics jjj Your right the power is awesome.
Is the dam producing hydro?
Love the greenery its nice.
Cheers Kev.

No hydro on Somerset Kev.
Yes, it's lovely to have it green again after the drought.
It'd be even lovelier to have some blue skies again.

The roar of the water adn fine mist spray everywhere must have been amazing.

Top photo's JJJ,

Shame they don't come with a sound track, the noise must have been amazing, so much power unleashed.

Love the mist in the fourth image, all of these images tell a story.
Cheers

Yep #4 has a certain special flavour, very nice.

So what's the bridge story...trolls? :lol:

[jjjnettie]

No trolls, but plenty of water over the bridge.
Pretty scarey if you have a wee little car like mine.
