The Drought

It's an abrubt and incongruous transition. I left Kampala more than a month ago. Now it's flooded in Gulu, and here I am in the middle of a drought. Today's pictures available here; Monday's here.

I've been moving the column on the right down to the water line each Friday for the last three weeks. I only started taking pictures this Monday (8 Oct.), however. You can (hopefully) see the drop over the last 5 days -- just look at the line of oyster shells.

This is the lowest the lake has been in my lifetime. During the last big drought in 2002, the water line was some 10 feet to the left (towards the rocks) of where it is now.
