Mill dam on the Kakanui River was constructed in the 1860's to provide a source of water to power Clarks Mill. A weir was built across the river just below the intake to a water race. The water race is approximately 1 km long and passes through a rock tunnel before emerging into a race which passes under State Highway 1 and along the escapement to Clarks Mill.
The Kakanui River is notorious for flooding. There are flow meters installed along the river and this is the site of one of them.Warning bells are activated when the river reaches 50 cumecs. This is a link to a piece created by a Maheno school pupil called Hayley L in 2007 with story and pictures of the river in flood which I think is worth a read. . CLICK

I like the saturated colors and the leading lines that draw the eye along the dam and downstream.

If I could tell the story in words, I wouldn't need to lug around a camera. ~Lewis Hine The Earth without art is just 'eh'.
Excellent lead in, good clarity, and I like the ripples in the water. I read the link, that was an interesting story. tigs=^..^=

Interesting narrative Lyn and a nice scene to visualize your narrative.

. . . Earth laughs in flowers! Ralph Waldo Emerson
Your narrative is really interesting, and Hayley L wrote a great report! Your capture shows a lush green view, with willows overlooking the waters. I can see that the water is not very deep as this point.

Even without the very interesting aspects 'told' by your narrative, it would be a wonderful image on its own, Lyn.

Long before the white man and long before the wheel, when the dark green forests were too silent to be real. Lightfoot 1967
