I always think that water is an amazing element on our planet, it is after all the main source if not creator of all forms of known life.
There must be stretches of water similar to this with thousands of miles of dry stone wall bankings built by man over the centuries.
They protect against flooding, but probably more importantly they control the flow of the meandering water and maintain a
particular stretch for thousands of years to a secured route, not allowing the river to form an alternative course.
Some of the small bridges we came across were quite amazing
and although they looked somewhat thin and perhaps weak,
they carried cattle, tractors and trailer loads of hay
etc without buckling.
I could only assume that Steel girders were situated across initially.
You can see the road we took through the Pass on the
right of this photograph, it's an amazing journey to make.
Really interesting from start to finish.
As you can see, there are many stretches of the dry stone walls throughout this area as well.
Colours were very effective, as mentioned you need to view these photographs on a full screen to obtain the real benefit of the same.
There's a form of coral, must have been for holding live stock
to the centre of this picture, built from stone as well.
All around the mountains, water appeared to be oozing down intro the valleys below. There have to be some cave features in these places. Perhaps they will go looking for them one of these fine days.
We saw plenty of rabbits whilst we were on our trip.
Apparently the area hosts a large fraternity of foxes as well.
It figures.
