If you’ve been by Lake Monacan in Stoney Creek lately, you’ve no doubt seen the impact of the recent drought on the water levels there.

Lake 3

It’s hard to tell because the positioning of my camera was in a different location, but it is lower than it was on the 7th. For additional photos scroll below.

Under normal conditions Henri would easily be under water where he’s standing looking back toward the dock.
