A couple of current photos of the Three Gorges Dam taken at night, chosen because they are pretty to me.

I was hunting for a weather forecast of the region, since there are two typhoons raining across southern China at the moment.

Looks like the water level behind the dam reached the highest ever a week or two ago, but has been receding in the past several days.

With the new moon scheduled for next week, and several storms for the watershed of the Yellow River, there is still a high degree of risk for the area downstream.

After all, China will not keep the water level this high forever. They may lose an entire growing season to this years floods.

That last photo of the ship locks is pretty amazing. As much as I hate the CCP, I hope for the people downstream that it is as good as it looks.
