1. Great set.
   Do you often get downstream floods when the snow melts? It’s hard for me to imagine such an amount of snow.

   • Almost every year. But sometimes worse. It’s like getting 6 months of rain at once if it becomes warm..

     Some of amount of flooding is quite normal.

     • I guess it’s like our monsoon/wet season in the summer in regards to the amount of water in such a short time.
       What a wonderful world 🙂

2. Beautiful.
