This dam controls water levels on the Trent-Severn Waterway system. Arrive at this spot at the right time in April and you see a mass of Pickerel (Walleyes) spawning.
I'm linking to Water Wednesday.
The waters above the spillway look placid; below, they look turbulent!
FEEL THE WATERS’ HEALING
If you’re stressed and weary Try a thing or two: Go down to the river, Take a friend with you; Take your shoes and socks off, Plunge in twenty toes— Feel the waters’ healing As the river flows!
What a nice watery shot! I dont have a thing for dams because my house was submerged when all three major dams in the Philippines let go of water at the same time during a major typhoon. Ha ha, I know its not the dam's problem.
I love dams. I just got back from vacation in Oregon and took lots of pictures of some of the dams on the Columbia. I hadn't planned on posting them, I just took them to stick in our album and to show family but I see from your fantastic photography how beautiful they really are so maybe I will post them. Thanks.
I think I KNOW where this is - very near Gamesbridge??

ReplyDeleteRight on EG. We have crossed paths many times.
ReplyDeleteI would so very much like to see a mass of fish spawning... on my bucket list! :-)
ReplyDelete[I find it amazing how much travel I do too, Andy! It's just in my DNA! Fortunately I love it, even when it's for work.]
I feel for those poor pickerel having to navigate this!
ReplyDeleteI bet that is a super thing to watch them make it upstream!!
ReplyDeleteMy Wednesday Link, thanks for the visit: Capt. Levi....Savvy?

ReplyDeleteThis photo reminds me of the Waterton Dam in Alberta. During spring run-off the force of the flow is absolutely incredible!
