The vegetation has colonised the sides of the new stretch of canal with such alacrity that you would never know it is new. I was interested to observe a gentle eddy in the widest part of the canal here, where water flowing west from the aqueduct seemed to be coming to a halt. The assorted twigs and leaves in the water mark the spot. Fantastic sky, too: classic mountain lee wave set up by strong winds blowing over the mountains from the west.
