Overflow fence

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

I've seen these drop shafts in reservoirs and they are completely unprotected once one is in the water. This is a sensible precaution. Lovely light in the sky, and as always, beautiful scenery from your area.
HFF and have a good weekend, Herb.

Herb Riddle club has replied to Amelia club
Hi Amelia. This is very close to the dam corner and so it might be possible to climb onto parts of this without getting too wet. I got closer once and the drop was dizzying. Glad you liked it.

A wonderful shot Herb...............overflowing with beautiful light - both in the pastel sky and where it's reflected on the water. The surrounding scenery is just gorgeous.

I have to say they seem to have done a good job with the fence and it actually looks quite lovely!

HFF to you. I hope you have a great weekend..!!

Wonderful light and a fascinating image to appreciate. I enjoyed reading about this fence as I've never seen one before. Amazing how dramatic the water level can be if there's drought, but even a normal year can be a drastic difference depending on the place. Thanks for sharing, it's a memorable shot!

TY for your visit and comment to my latest presentation, I'm glad you enjoyed the pictures and I also liked what you had to say about your country parks and the raise in price from Brexit's fallout. And finally, yes, Joseph Stewart State Park is a mere 45 minutes from our house! How cool is that?! :D

Herb Riddle club has replied to Janet Brien club
Hi Janet, delighted again that you managed to pop over here and see my part of the world too. For this Ipernity group of HFF, I am extremely fortunate in having so many different and copious fences at my disposal. This being but one example. Very happy that you liked and and found my description of use.
As for your 'presentations' -you speak and capture the scenes from your heart -that is clear. We will see what happens here to our country after the coming election. That park of yours looks incredible. At only 45 mins away, you can quickly go test and enjoy another home from home.

A lovely morning light capture Herb'... I do wonder why the Ladybower overflows don't have some form of fence or grid.. it sure makes things safer and collects debris.
Have a good weekend... (HFF) and keep well... Cheers from.. David J'.
4 years ago.
Herb Riddle club has replied to David G Johnson club
Hi Dave, when I see our many reservoirs thay are almost all slightly different with their overflows. This being near the path must have been seen as being more accessible to folk hence the fence. As you say though, it collects debris as well.

No, not a good idea Joe. The inside of the cone is made up of quite big steps though, that looked as if they would be easy to step down in the height of the drought.
