@samir No, as a chemist I think that’s totally fine.
But what really puzzled me after moving to #Canada is that when people are talking about their “hydro bill” they don’t mean their water bill but rather their electricity bill because in many places the electricity provider or producer have “hydro” in their name as some (but not all) comes from #hydro electric power plants.

We would frequently find places to pull over and go for a walk while in Scotland in 2010 just to see if there were any sights worth photographing. There almost always was. After a day of visiting some castles in the Galloway region we were heading back towards the inn we were staying at when we headed along a random road in the woods and eventually found ourselves with some lovely views of one of the dams of the Galloway Hydroelectric Power Scheme nestled in the middle of nature's majesty.

It's a bright, sunny day with mostly clear blue sky visible in the distance. We're standing beside a narrow, shallow stream that's passing through the arch under an old stone bridge crossing it, its sides awash with colour from heather and other plants; a few ferns poke up between a carpet of soft purples. Behind the vibrant bridge, either side of the stream tall evergreens grow with the tops of those on the right glowing gold-green in the sunlight in contrast to the dark shade of those on the left. In the gap between the trees up ahead there is a high, wide concrete dam. A thick central slope of concrete leads to a short tower on top, but either side water is cascading down the dam's side, part of a hydroelectric power system.
