Oh no! That's unfortunate. Places always look better online. People will take a photo of one awesome spot and say how amazing the entire place is, even if the rest is a dump. That happens to us periodically. Ill be like "well there is the spot I saw online" then snap the exact same photo and get the hell out of there.
That reservoirs looks pretty dried up. Obviously not what you were expecting and probably not worth the drive. Then again a drive with dad may be fun enough for your son. Quality time and all. And ice cream of course. That's something!
He will remember the ice cream if nothing else. That and possibly twisted dear landscapes that haunt his dreams for years to come!!
I have seen many a place like that too, the ones where you think oh right, if you stand just so you can get a good pic
It's only been dry for a few days, I think it needs to have a word with itself about it's commitment to the job of being a reservoir!!
Haha yeah exactly.
Herons are incredible birds by the way. I love seeing them standing near water or flying. They're massive and remind me of a dinosaur
Thats it, I am off to google some heron porn. I am sure I have seen one but when it popped into my head I just couldn't picture when or where!
