It's Raining Again

In the town where I live in New Zealand, we had no meaningful rain for about eight months. The last two weeks has seen rain almost daily. Above is the river through town normally. The results of the rain you can see below. The water level is down from its peak but you get the idea.


In the above photo, there are walkways usually on both sides and a narrow river through the middle fed by clear water from a spring. The nice fountain area in the photo above is at the end of this view.


I cycle along the river bank here on the paths provided. Well maybe another day.


There is also a scale railway that runs past here for the young and those young at heart. Again all that and the pathing all well under water.

This town was called Beavertown many years ago due to its regular floods. A diversion of most of the water and a dam nearby has stopped the town going under water. The river still comes up pretty quickly even so.
