Cambuslang Public Park - Burn in Spate

A very rare sight. Normally this cheery wee burn is just a trickle. But with all the heavy rain we've been having lately... Well - see for yourself: quite a torrent, isn't it? I can't remember as much water here since the mid-1960s.

These scenes were shot using a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ8 stills camera in movie mode.

That's probably the fastest I've ever saw it go either.

Yes. Amazing, isn't it? As a kid back in the 60s, when the burn was usually a lot fuller and faster, almost like it is here, I kept hoping to see water nymphs bathing in the pool.

Maybe one day... :-)

Perhaps we'll see it going a lot like this in furture due to global warming. There certainly seems to be much more water around these days than over the last forty-odd years.
