Underwater Church Reappears

“You might call it an act of God. A severe drought in Venezuela has exposed a church — pictured in 2008 and on February 21, 2010 — that had been inundated when a hydroelectric dam was built in 1985. The 82-foot-tall church and the Andean town of Potosi were flooded to establish the Uribante-Caparo water reservoir to power the plant, which is currently operating at just 7 percent of its capacity, according to the Reuters service. The church is now an ominous symbol of energy shortages in the country.” w/ photos. || LINK
