Ashton Dam Spillway

The snow is melting and with a above average snowpack, the rivers are swelling. I have been wanting to go to the Ashton Dam for the last few weeks to see how the high water was affecting the spillway. Darren and I finally made it up there on Friday. It wasn't as exciting as we had hoped but it was still very impressive.

This may be hard to tell much of a differnce since the photographs were taken from different locations, however, there is no way I could get to where I took the first photo without being under a few feet of water.

Keep in mind that since I haven't gotten my film back from this shoot, you will have to bear with me while comparing a film captured image and my point and shoot digital capture.



The first photo was taken while standing just to the right of the rocks at the top of the water fall on the left.


A portrait of the legend. Even the black of night doesn't stop this crazy photographic fool.


Darren's Pot of Gold at the end of the rainbow. (How cheezy can I get? I didn't construct this photo, it just happened. I promise.)
