Ivor&Mel Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 However scary it is, I think it's a magnificent piece of engineering! Do all reservoirs have such a feature?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubydazzler Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 but then a sudden calimity happened - one of the duckings was sucked down the big overflow hole Did it bob round and round like a rubber ducky when you let the water out of the bath? Or did it just get sucked down straightaway? I'm quite ghoulish really, aren't I? Sorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitehorses Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 Msbehavin, I have to tell you that I find those pics scary, but for me thereis a reason why.A few years ago I had a recurring dream about that particular stretch of water.It was in a drought situation, so the holes were empty of water, I went in them with some people and it all seemed quite normal, steps leading down etc.When I got to the bottom there was a whole city made of sandstone pillars and ledges(Nothing like the village that is under a reservoir)It was like being at a Roman building, but all really well maintained.For some reason we had been taken down there as part of some research plan, and I knew that at some stage the water would come rushing in, and I'd be running away from the rising tide of it.It was a dream but it still gives me the creeps years later!

Dozy Posted November 9, 2007 Share Posted November 9, 2007 I think it's absolutely beautiful - but I've always been fascinated by moving water! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msbehavin Posted April 12, 2008 Author Share Posted April 12, 2008 Thought I'd resurrect this thread to say that recently, in a moment of bravado and lets-see-if-we-can-cure-this I did go to the reservoir, parked up near the wall then walked round and looked over at it. Still did no good. It's creepy. I literally had to inch my way bit by bit towards the wall to peer over then jumped back. Repeated a few times till could look for a nanosecond longer but stll not comfortably. Strange, irrational and as yet I still haven't come up with a valid reason why, but looking through this thread again at the pictures I know that even confronting my fears by making myself look at it 'for real' hasn't exorcised the inexplicable dislike I have of the 'thing' !!
