<br />
I thought the attached photos may be of interest to you.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The original photo is a rather faded black & white shot which was included in an old album I obtained some time ago. The photo annotation in the album simply states 'Selukwe - Main Street'. Many of the photos in the album date from about 1912, so I have added 'circa 1912' as a best guess date.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I digitally restored the photo and experimented with the addition of colour - the second photo.<br />

The ones of Kariba were taken with a still camera of all six gates open in May 1966. They were only opened for 48 hours. They did say at the time that they would never ever fully open all six again due to the volume and force of the water having gauged such a big hole below the wall which had to be repaired later. We as a family were camped at the original Air Force camp site down from the airfield. Peter happened to have gone into Kariba to stock up on essential and found out that all six gates were open. We then all went back to Kariba that afternoon to witness an historical event. It was quite amazing and very beautiful. Standing on the dam wall was quite frightening with the vibrations and the pull of the force of the water going through the gates.<br /><br /><a href="http://s193.photobucket.com/albums/z273/orafs/Rhodesia%20Remembered/Rhodesian%20Photos/?action=view&current=Kariba19664.jpg" target="_blank"><img style="width: 550px; height: 370px;" src="http://i193.photobucket.com/albums/z273/orafs/Rhodesia%20Remembered/Rhodesian%20Photos/Kariba19664.jpg" alt="Kariba 1966" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s193.photobucket.com/albums/z273/orafs/Rhodesia%20Remembered/Rhodesian%20Photos/?action=view&current=Kariba19661.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i193.photobucket.com/albums/z273/orafs/Rhodesia%20Remembered/Rhodesian%20Photos/Kariba19661.jpg" alt="Kariba 1966" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s193.photobucket.com/albums/z273/orafs/Rhodesia%20Remembered/Rhodesian%20Photos/?action=view&current=Kariba19662.jpg" target="_blank"><img style="width: 549px; height: 407px;" src="http://i193.photobucket.com/albums/z273/orafs/Rhodesia%20Remembered/Rhodesian%20Photos/Kariba19662.jpg" alt="Kariba 1966" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s193.photobucket.com/albums/z273/orafs/Rhodesia%20Remembered/Rhodesian%20Photos/?action=view&current=Kariba19663.jpg" target="_blank"><img style="width: 546px; height: 367px;" src="http://i193.photobucket.com/albums/z273/orafs/Rhodesia%20Remembered/Rhodesian%20Photos/Kariba19663.jpg" alt="Kariba 1966" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><br />Many thanks to Anne for sharing her memories and photos with us.</span><br />-----------------------------------------------------------<br /><br />The following information was received and as Blogger cannot images under comments I have taken the liberty of add them here:<br /><br />Danny Hartman Writes:-<br />Recently you have put out a fair amount of correspondence and pictures about Kariba, and in particular the opening of six gates; and magnificent pictures they are. However, I don't know if you have ever received photographs of what the river looked like with 6 gates open. The photographs I have attached are when the gates were opened for the first time in the mid-sixties.<br /><br />How this came about: We, the SAS, (Special Air Services) were just completing our deployment at Kariba to return to Salisbury when Dudley Coventry, the CO, was approached by CAPCO (Central Power Corporation) for some assistance and this was to monitor the rise of the river at various positions as far as Kanyemba. As this was to be the first time that all the gates were to be opened and not knowing what effect opening all the gates would have i.e. vibrations etc it was to be done slowly opening 1/2 a gate at a time until all 6 gates were finally opened. I together with my troop were deployed to Nyamumba farm (the old banana farm when the gorge opened up into the valley). I was fortunate enough to have my camera with me and able to take photos before and after the gates were opened. Memory does not serve me too well as to the exact height it rose but it was must have been between 20 and 30 feet.<br /><br />It would be interesting to know if anyone else has photos showing what effect the opening of the gates had on the river.<br /><br />Trust this is of interest to you.<br /><br /><a href="http://s193.photobucket.com/albums/z273/orafs/Rhodesia%20Remembered/Rhodesian%20Photos/?action=view&current=ZambeziRiver4.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i193.photobucket.com/albums/z273/orafs/Rhodesia%20Remembered/Rhodesian%20Photos/ZambeziRiver4.jpg" alt="Photobucket" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Thanks to Danny for sharing his memories with ORAFs.<br /></div>Rhodesia Rememberedhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06644511584084003690noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2492196556063118752.post-30475789216924053052010-04-27T13:55:00.000+02:002010-04-27T14:09:16.793+02:00Stanley Avenue Salisbury<div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div>Both photos are of Stanley Avenue Salisbury, looking East.<br /><br />The earlier photo was obtained from the archives Salisbury, the annotation reads " Stanley Avenue east.

From my limited knowledge of the cars of that era, the latest models shown in the photo appear to be from the early 1930's, the photo is therefore unlikely to have been taken much later than the early 1930's.<br /><br /><a href="http://s193.photobucket.com/albums/z273/orafs/Rhodesia%20Remembered/Rhodesian%20Postcards/?action=view&current=StanleyAvenueeastSalisburylate1930s.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i193.photobucket.com/albums/z273/orafs/Rhodesia%20Remembered/Rhodesian%20Postcards/StanleyAvenueeastSalisburylate1930s.jpg" border="0" alt="Stanley Avenue east.
