Photos of the Day for May 14, 2018

Spring flood, Vjeras’nitsa 2018.

Веснавая паводка, Верасьніца 2018 г.

 

This was a favorite springtime view until a new spasm of “amelioration” led to the construction of a dyke along the northern edge of Vjeras’nitsa (visible in the center of the first photo along the right-hand edge) and the annual flood seemed to be terminally blocked from this meadow.  However, nature paid no attention to the dyke in 2018 and nutrient-rich flood waters once again pleasantly filled the space.

Дзякуй Богу, нядаўнія меры “меліярацыі“, у тым ліку новая дамба (бачная ў сярэдзіне зправа), не змаглі прадухіляць распаўсюджваньне сёлетняй пажыўнай веснавой паводкі.
