Standing on top of the sand dunes at Colchester and looking towards the ocean you will spot what looks like oases. (One oasis, many oases. Something I didn't know). But this isn't a desert so its not oases. Although its kinda is. Fresh water falls on the sand dunes in the form of rain (duh!). The fresh water then sinks away and appears again in low lying areas between the sand dunes. In these low lying areas you will find these pools of fresh water surrounded by vegetation. In some places the fresh water springs are clearly visible bubbling out from under the sand.
Must be LOTS of fresh water bubbling up now. Hope your house is safe and dry!
ReplyDeleteThe blue of the water is just amazing. Beautiful beach!

Great photo, magnificent dunefield... looks like one could walk to the sea along the tracks of green, then have a cool swim. So many wonderful places in the Eastern Cape...
ReplyDeleteI would think all the rain you've been having would make bigger pools. Very cool.
