River Dargle Flood Defence Scheme.
These images were taken during the first week of August 2013, tracking the on-going river bank alterations.
The prolonged dry weather is now apparent in the soil surface.
We would all experience the effects of, in Irish terms, a prolonged 'heatwave'.
Activity in this Slang area has been drastically curtailed in recent months. What work still being carried on seemed to involve endless shifting, and 'turning' of top spoil.
Despite the prolonged dry period, there is a slow, but constant, seepage of water from the upper banks, gathering along the lower riverbank shelf.
One has got to question the impact of such seepage on the integrity of the recently-constructed upper banks, especially the exposed slopes.
Some local activity now in recycling the large stones, gathered in cairns, down to the riverbed, with the apparent intention of influencing/changing the flow patterns, and thus preventing untoward debris build-up.
To paraphrase: 'Man proposes, but Nature disposes'.

One last check from the soldiers commander and now it is finally time to celebrate.
At the end of the gruesome eight month training that recruits of the IDF’s Paratroopers Brigade have to complete their final challenge. Before the recruits will be fully fledged soldiers of the Paratrooper’s Brigade they have to finish their ‘Masa Kumta’, which translates to ‘Beret March’. This is an all night 90km march in full gear, through any kind of weather, at the end of which young Paratroopers receive their red berets. This signifies the end of their training and full admission to the active forces of the Paratrooper’s Brigade.
