城門水塘滿水時 | Road Through the Waterfall Hole

到這一刻,香港的天氣總是差透的,下了很久的雨,整個五月天也是在下雨。水塘內的水位也進帳了不少。繼上次在十號風球過後到城門水塘拍攝水浸白千層之後,今次趁空閒來到上次沒有時間去到的那個鐘形溢流口,當水塘溢滿的時候,多餘的儲水就會由這個水碗排到下城門水塘。這是一項水務設施,通往那碗的小路是不能進入的。但在閘外拍到小徑穿過一個圓形水瀑布的景象,縱然那天不能在這個繼白千層外,另外一個夏季限定的地方,看到美麗的晚霞與夕陽,但看到這樣震撼的景色也不枉此行了。

From Shing Mun Reservoir, Hong Kong. The structure in this photo, which is a circular waterfall, is actually a bellmouth overflow of the reservoir. When the reservoir overflows, which is the case in this year in Hong Kong as there are so many rainy days in this summer, the excessive water would then pass through this structure to the Lower Shing Mun Reservoir. It is a must-see item in Shing Mun Reservoir, and could only be seen after great rainfall. Another scene which is famous in Shing Mun Reservoir is so called “Forest in the Sea”.
