Duhok, Iraqi Kurdistan near the border with Turkey
I went for a walk around the town. From a park in the town, I could clearly see the lag painted on a hillside overlooking the town.
I walked up the valley and across a footbridge across the river, but the outflow was concreted into a narrow channel.
Further up the valley, the outflow from the dam was held in a small reservoir before being siphoned off to be treated for drinking water.
On the way up to the dam, there were some art installations...such as this concrete sofa...
... and its neighbour....
...both looking up to see some goats who in turn were unaware of the the jaguar storking them.
Looking across the face of the Duhok Dam.
Looking cross the reservoir behind the dam, I only saw the height of the dam and the difference between the level of the lake and the outtake of the water for drinking and irrigation and the missed opportunity for using the flow for producing electricity.
The entrance to the museum of illusitions, a fascinating place of upside down rooms and odd specifics.
