Our photo editor Marian Fuchs writes:
The other day I took a few pictures at the Lake, after the construction of the barrier. I think these pictures show that the recent construction will not significantly detract from our enjoyment of the Lake — in fact, the gabions look rather attractive. The third picture shows the mesh that the crew have spread over the areas of grass that they damaged; in time the seed in the mesh will sprout and make the grassy area whole again. The two shadows are Jacob and me.



I look forward to the lake filling up again soon.
Great photos, AND a new word to look up! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gabion
Wonder why these rock blocks were named using an Italian word for “ginger?”
