So, let's see what has changed. This is what we saw in 2016. This scene should look fairly similar right? The vegetation will be a bit denser, but nothing else will have changed.

The Road Up In 2018

Wrong! In 2016 there was an extra lamp post. It has obviously been recycled.

Road Clearance

Interestingly, this road has been cleared since we first came. The inset picture is from 2016. I think they have cleared the road in order to access the power lines.

We are now at the top of the road. In 2016, there wasn't much water in the reservoir. That abandoned church is way off to the left.

Kouris Reservoir

We've neglected the dams for a while. They've overflowed, and now the waters are subsiding, ever so slightly. But what of the reservoirs further afield? Kouris has a church which is nearly submerged when it is full. So we thought we better photographed this semi-submerged church while it is still semi-submerged.
