We're having lots of spring-like sunny weather this week, and when I went to swim in the Dart with Yaara on Monday afternoon we were astounded by the zingy-green clarity of the water. The river doesn't often look like this, and from memory, it seems to be like this only at this time of the year. Sometimes it's like lime soda, today it was more of a minty green. As we plunged in, with the sun sparkling through the water, we felt completely alive. Gingerly, we put our faces in and the view below was equally invigorating: an underwater landscape of green and grey rocks, seemingly scrubbed clean of any dirt. I remembered Sharrah Pool looking like this once, and looking back at my photos I see that this was in February 2014, Perhaps all the rain washes the riverbed clean towards the end of winter, and then when the sun comes out in Spring it lights it up in all its new freshness.
