And we will say: "It was magical!"

Driving up the mountain, in direction of Andorra, I look away after I cross the Baells reservoir, past Cercs.

Driving up the mountain, in direction of Andorra, I look away after I cross the Baells reservoir, past Cercs.

The scene makes me cringe and I need to see extra, however I might higher cease performing like an fool whereas driving and pull over.

So, I cease.

I cease the automobile at a viewpoint and, in the long run, like a madman I ponder the scene.

The view confirms every part that the specialists inform us on tv.

The reservoir is at 26% of its capability.

The reservoir is a big puddle and, the place there was once water, there may be now a mud of cracked earth topped by a constructing: the abbey of Sant Salvador de la Vedella rises proudly the place it as soon as drowned.

And I do not see rowers or sailboats or water skiers, and I ponder if there will probably be pike, catfish and trout left in these waters, since they barely have a spot to swim, it is a large puddle.

(...)

The picture of the water skier involves thoughts as a result of I'm heading to Grandvalira. I will probably be overlaying the Alpine Snowboarding World Cup finals, which began yesterday.

The difficulty of snowboarding is a blessing for Andorra, which takes the problem as a private factor, simply because it takes all these points. I personally had been capable of test it 4 years in the past, in different World Cup finals in Soldeu and El Tarter, in 2019, when Marcel Hirscher, the very best skier of the second, had mentioned:

– This website is ready to supply the very best circumstances.

This phrase had been magnificent, a push for Andorrans within the uncertainty of snowboarding, on condition that even then the wisest informed us:

- The times of the nice drought will quickly arrive.

Even?

Considering the reservoir in 2019, the skeptic gave strategy to his skepticism.

Who's speaking about drought?

The Baells reservoir was splendid!

From a chook's eye view, the observer may barely distinguish the height of the abbey. The sailboats sailed fortunately. The catfish drifted in double corriola. The whole lot was formidable within the place, it was a reservoir as God instructions, a reservoir at 98% of its capability.

Effectively: these are the times of the nice Mikaela Shiffrin (the best skier ever), but additionally the times of the nice drought, and now I've stopped at a lookout overlooking Baells Abbey, and right here planted I ponder the place we're going, since in a couple of days the spring will unfold and the snows from the mountains will descend and relaxation within the reservoirs, after which these identical waters will probably be misplaced within the evening of time, just like the C rays that shine within the darkness, close to the Tannhäuser gate.
