Wash day along the Shire River in southern Malawi, 1968. Looks like a good spot for crocodiles to lurk.
There's a river depth gauge at right, marked from 11 to 15 feet.

The Kamuzu Barrage at Liwonde on the upper Shire River, south of Lake Malombe and just south of Liwonde National Park.
Looking southwest; upstream to the left. This bridge and barrage, built in the 1960s, was intended to control the level of Lake Malawi
and regulate the flow rate of the river. Now cracking and felt by the local people to be dangerous.
