城市中的瀑布！
今天《靈命日糧》的文章《勝過一切》引用《詩篇九十三篇》，隨即聯想起三日前曾看過從高處湧流而下的澎湃，扣人心弦，令我更感受到《詩篇九十三篇》第4節所說的：“耶和華在高處大有能力，勝過諸水的響聲……”
湧流是在香港島鴨脷洲大橋轉彎位置旁邊的「小瀑布」！在香港仔工業中學旁，步行到天橋底可以看見。近日連場大雨，令香港仔水塘滿溢！那天下午已停雨，否則更多水、更壯觀！搭車經過看見，常想找一天實地拍照，因為難得市區也有“瀑布“，而且在附近，可以安全地觀賞。
但市區何以有瀑布？這其實不是天然的瀑布，是從香港仔水塘排出來的水，也為香港仔避風塘供應淡水。（當水太滿就要排走一些，例如暴雨過後）
無意中再看此照片，始留意原來照片中竟然有人？但見瀑布左上角行山徑圍欄內穿綠衣的人，她可能正沿着行山徑往上行。本來不覺得瀑布大和高，但人與瀑布相比，何其渺小？

翻查資訊：http://www2.map.gov.hk/gih3/view/index.jsp 及手機版：http://www.map.gov.hk/mobile/index.jsp…，均見圖中藍色部分便是香港仔上、下水塘及南下排洪的人造河道，而瀑布在河道出口，正是鴨脷洲大橋旁。

A 'waterfall' in the city!
It's not a natural waterfall.
It's excess water from the Aberdeen Reservoir on Hong Kong Island,
supplying fresh water to the Aberdeen typhoon shelter.
The blue areas in the following links are Upper and Lower Aberdeen Reservoirs, excess water flows southward like a 'river' and the 'waterfall' is at its end: http://www2.map.gov.hk/gih3/view/index.jsp or http://www.map.gov.hk/mobile/index.jsp…
It reminds me of "Mightier than the thunder of the great waters ... the LORD on high is mighty." (Psalm 93:4)
Moreover, I’ve found a person in the photo !
There's a lady in green T-shirt near the top left hand corner of the 'waterfall' !
She seemed to be walking on a trail on the left of the 'waterfall' upstream.
How small she was, compared to the 'waterfall' !
