Posted by Meliciouscat Great photos, and interesting stories! I've been reading this thread for quite a while now and I still can't get enough. I'm curious about the slimy growth in the drain walls... what exactly is it?? Algae of some sort? It looks very organic. I have yet to explore any drains. My rubber boots are collecting dust. And for some reason rubber boots seem to be in style now... but I won't put them to use as fashion boots. Besides, wouldn't that make your feet stink? At least now it wont look strange to wear them on dry days. |
Posted by KublaKhan You live in Victoria, so you're familiar with water falling from the sky in great volumes. Tis indeed the rain season, or what I like to call Season of the Rains, and as such all that stuff coming down eventually has to go out. Drains are the best way, and that generally assumes that great volumes of water will course through these drains...all by way of saying that draining during the Season of the Rains isn't smart money. In fact, it's very, very bad money. My impression of a drain at this time of year goes like this: (KK acts out his impression of a drain at the beginning of Season of the Rains, which is really quite amusing) ...so, as you can see, all that water isn't going to let all that other flotsam stop it, and you know what that means? RIGHT: rising water levels surging through confined and narrow spaces, sweeping everything in its path in a mash of terror that baffles the imagination. However, rubber boots shouldn't collect dust. I'm thinking of a spot related to the city's early water needs. |
Posted by yellow_wallpaper I've missed you. Why on earth would Av-X lock the longest thread on uer? We're still on topic. ...aren't we? |
Posted by Agent Skelly I'm tempted to lock it and then have KK start a "Part II" thread. I might even go pin this one for historical information. |
