    Thanks for posting. I know of a few towns that were drowned to build reservoirs, and I've always thought it would be interesting, if sad, to be there while it happens. I wonder if you SCUBA dived...

    Thanks for posting. I know of a few towns that were drowned to build reservoirs, and I've always thought it would be interesting, if sad, to be there while it happens. I wonder if you SCUBA dived in this reservoir would you see remnants like foundations, or the baker's oven, still there.

    We have a nearby town with an urban legend that you could still see the old church steeple when the water is low enough. Of course this is impossible, but we still like to tell the lie to newcomers and visitors.

    I want to say, I've often wished for a way to search for sites like yours. Those being: personal websites of people with a particular interest or hobby and a lot of information about it. The pages about free flying are very cool!

    Thank you for sharing. I’m currently on a dam kick (Vajont my… beloved?) so this was an interesting discursion down an aspect of dam-building i hadn’t considered before!

    Interesting to read about life far away and beautiful photos :- ) I hope they made the new houses earthquake-resistant too, not just the dam
