Jungle Daily - Washing in The River When The Well Runs Dry

in #photography7 years ago (edited)

It is the dry season here in the rainforest jungle. That doesn’t mean we don’t get rain, but instead of daily downpours as in the rainy season, it just rains every four or five days or maybe just once a week even. It is not sufficient and wells start to run dry. It only takes a few hours with a dry tap to make one realize how much and how often we call on our water reserves for one thing or another. In the house here, the water had not been running for around 48 hours. Drinking water is available from the local shop of course but is way too expensive to use for the washing of bodies, clothes or dishes.
So this morning there was nothing for it but to go to the river, which is thankfully just a hundred meters or so down a steep path at the side of the house.

Here and there fresh water snails line the banks, some of them have the most beautifully patterned shells.

This path is not a tourist path but was made by the owners of the house I rent to make a safe decent to the river. I am very lucky to have that as it is very very steep and slippery afte the rain.

Cool snails! They have nice shells

The lack of water sounds inconvenient; will it be like this for the next few months?

Thanks very much. I hope the rainy season will start soon, it could be in the next month.... but it could be three.... fingers crossed it comes soon.

Oh, literally speaking these parts of jungle and the pure colour, no, purest green colour of these pictures reflects an pleasing effect and healing effect. And in my opinion you are so lucky to live close to mother nature, and in my opinion every person should use the technique of preservation of water, because that way people can get the sufficient amount of water. Thanks for sharing this beautiful and amazing pictures of nature and wishing you an great day. Stay blessed. 🙂
