Hey LADY I don't see no sign road closed!!

Your just having us on

So you can join the musketeers

you will have to do better than this

No entry what do my fellow musketeers think?

Michelle: "I've failed miserably, oh mighty Musketeer!!!". I will not stop at NO Entry signs in the far future" LOL

LOL at Tracy! She's REALLY giving you a hard time, Michelle. I think you're already in hot water with her. Uh-oh. She can be a tough Musketeer. Astrid can be tough, too, so you might need to watch out for her, too. Ginnie is the EASY one. So as far as I'm concerned, just because you don't SEE the sign doesn't mean the road isn't closed!!!!!!

Michelle: Thanks a million Ginnie for going easy on me

. I hope you guys have a good weekend!

I don't know why, but that structure looks like a car wash to me. As if you should drive in, get your car all soaped up, drive right off the end of the bridge and rinse off below. Cool shot

Michelle: ROFL, it sure does look like a car wash

. Thanks a million Jewlya.

I thought about an elevator for boats ... Maybe I'm crazy ... Original composition !!!

Michelle: Yes, it is a weird looking building, there are 2 of them on the wall. It is used to divert water into the entirely underground hydro electric plant. Thank you for your comments

Well balanced picture Michelle. This structure is quite big and impressive. Would you know what's the use of it?

Michelle: Hi Richard. There are 2 of these diverters, one on each side of the wall. They control the flow of water into the first, entirely underground hydro electric plant in SA. The dam was built by French construction company called Dumez.

What sign, Michelle did you see any sign, my name middle name is 'innocent' (I know somebody is ROTFL this same minute)I told Tracy once: 'the best pictures are taken on forbidden ground', so Michelle I only say it once......never pay attention to some signs 'men' have put in the most idiote places......well, I know you will out-run me.....I might say join the club (if you behave

..err... NOT).....but it cost you at least one lunch....

Michelle: Thank you Astrid, in future I will not let any sign post deter me from the shot at hand! I hope you have a good weekend!
