Check Dam Overflowing - FIRST TIME

By -
It was a nice experience for me standing in the banks of the river with an umbrella in one hand, and camera in another and enjoying the rains as it poured on to the river.

The river was over-joyous after felt being released from the Check-dam being built across it recently. The water was pushing one another and trying to escape as fast as it could. Normally a silent river, it posed a big sound of water gushing across. The sound was even heard from inside my home. It was like a waterfalls sound from within.

I thought this to be a good share for those missing action here.

Not able to restrict myself, I came back next day morning when rains were about to pour and took a clean bath inside the dam. But I was only disappointed as rains did not pour down. :( I wanted to have a bath with rains in place, alas that dream did not get fulfilled.

But I will come back next time, O my dear river!
