Notes
Looking down from the bridge on the downstream side. There is lots of green mossy growth in the stagnant pool of water. The water appears clear but has a darker overall appearance than it normally does. When checking turbidity water looks slightly milky. (I think the lighter areas on the water surface in the photo are reflections of the clouds, the appearance was a more uniform dark look with the naked eye.)
