Dam in Shimane

Shimane's heavy rain the other day made national news.  The local cable broadcast station kept announcing the volume of water released from Hamahara Dam near my parents home.  I became curious and went out to see the dam for myself.

The water coming out of the dam.

Extremely powerful force and sound.

Taking a photo from this angle made me feel very nervous.

The other side of the dam is very tranquil.

I visited the dam when I was in an elementary school for an excursion.  It was such a long walk when I think about it now.

I went to see Shitsumi Dam near Izumo as well.  It was quite interesting to see the two different dams; old and new.

A rain cloud drifted away in the afternoon, revealing the beautiful half moon in the blue sky.
