Kusiya mugwagwa mukuru, uchienda kumugwagwa weasphalt wemigwagwa miviri unoenda kumhenderekedzo yekumabvazuva kweAvalon, mugwagwa uyu unowanzoiswa zvigamba, zvekuti hazvizivikanwe kuti mugwagwa wacho une dzinza uye mativi akawanda kupfuura asphalt yekutanga.
Iyi inyika isingabereki yeAvaroni, ine muti mumwe chete pamusoro pemapfudzi ako, wakavharwa nemhepo, uchihwanda mumupata.
Madziva uye makwenzi asingabereki akaiswa kunze semahombe akakura, achitambanudzira kusvika kumatenga kumativi ese, kune zuva uye kupisa, pasi pakaoma, uye kunhuwa kwemakwenzi uye peat bogs kunofashukira.
Ndakamisa motokari yangu pane imwe ivhu nematombo, apo ndaiona dziva hombe raiva nekamwe kamwe kadombo kemawere kune rimwe divi. Nzvimbo iyi kazhinji ine mvura yakadzika uye zvikoro zvetrout. Inenge kiromita imwe kubva mumugwagwa, asi chinhambwe pano chiri kuyedza: hapana chinhu mumaziso ako chekubata uye kuisa chiyero chakajeka, chete zvinyoro zvinyoro pasi uye fluff inoumbwa nemhepo inotsvaira zvirimwa.
Ipapo, ndakafamba ndichidzika nemugwagwa webhasikoro pakati pemiti inenge isina kuputika. Vanopisa zuva vanodya chete ndivo vakanga vachiri kuratidzika kunyorova zvakakwana kuti vararame, mashizha awo akaita senyeredzi aifadzwa nemadonhwe anonamira anoyevedza. Miti yemudziyo yakanga yakaoma uye isina kusimba, sokunge mvura iri kuuya nokukurumidza. Parutivi rwomugwagwa muduku, kamwe kamwe boka duku reshiri rakanga riri pamberi pangu, richidongorera nokupembera, nokuda kwechikonzero chakati, nguva dzose richitiza nenzira chaiyoiyo seyangu. Mabiko angu ekudzidzira haabhururuke kusvikira rusvingo rwedombo rwaonekwa pamberi pangu.
Ndakatora mutsara, ndokusimudza ndokukochekera hove iri pakati nepakati, ndokugara pamucheto pedombo, ndokubvisa bhutsu nemasokisi, ndokuzembera dombo, ndokutsika mvura yaidziya yebrown. Ndinogona kunzwa kudanwa kukuru uye kwakajeka kweOsprey, asi handioni ruzha rwayo mudenga. Pamvura paive nekamhepo, ndakafunga zvekutuhwina. Ndisati ndaona, motokari nemarori dzimwe nguva dzinofamba mumugwagwa. Ivhu rakasimudzwa nemigwagwa zvinoita kuti mugwagwa uve muganhu pakati pedenga nenyika, saka mota dziri kutyaira kusvika pamwero wakati.
Madziva uye makwenzi asingabereki akaiswa kunze semahombe akakura, achitambanudzira kusvika kumatenga kumativi ese, kune zuva uye kupisa, pasi pakaoma, uye kunhuwa kwemakwenzi uye peat bogs kunofashukira.
Nokudaro, kupinda mumotokari, pamhenderekedzo yegungwa, inoyerera mumvura isina kudzika uye yakafara yakasvibirira uye rwizi ruduku rwematombo, rwakashambidzwa nemvura kwenguva yakareba, kuitira kuti vose vave newaxy uye chitarisiko chakafanana. Hakuna hove dzakawanda, uye padziri, dzakavharirwa mumakomba akadzika, pasi pemahombekombe akachekwa, mvura yerwizi inokotama ichicheka pasi pasi pemiti, uye mvura inoyerera inokurumidza kumakona inodzinga matombo pasi perwizi Push kuti aumbe. madhamu nemadhamu. Mhakure akabuda ndokunorumwa nenhunzi nemaziso emurarabungu, asi shatowo dzakabva dzasvetukira nhunzi dzakanga dzakapoteredza dzisati dzaruma zvine simba.
Nechekukona, ruzha rwemvura inoyerera unoita seuri kudya mamwe manzwi, saka panongove neruzha rwekugezeswa kwemvura ichizviumburudza. Zuva rinopisa zvikuru, uye matombo erwizi kumusana kwangu anotopisa zvikuru. Hapana kuzorora kwezuva.
