The new river

After a couple of years of intensive works for the construction on a new dam, with a power plant built-in, right in the middle of the city metropolitan area, the river banks have changed face. There are many trees less than before; many others are now standing in the middle of the dam basin and will certainly not survive for long with roots constantly wet. On the other hand, the new banks provide opportunities for the citizen to stay safer and closer to the water, when not directly access to it via canoes or other kind of floaters. It's a matter of waiting and watching how it's going to progress. For the purists like me, it's still a matter of making few kilometres more, along the cycling road, before ending into the wood and marshes again.
