This is the Farmington River looking up stream to the Old Collins Axe Co. Dam and One of the Turbine houses no longer in use.

The trees are dreary but they make that red building and the water pop right out at you.
I like seeing the water flow as well. Lovely.


Life is hard...but I just take it one photograph at a time.

Thanks all for the comments. I've posted another photo of the area showing a wider view, the first one only shows the section of dam from the forebay to the power house the main dam is quite long as can be seen under the bridge in this one.

Your composition is always well crafted, I don't know which one I like better. The colors in 2 pop a little more. As usual, great shots.

I agree that number two does it! Great shot Sandy. I really like the red building giving the scene the contrasting color. Winter can really be beautiful.

Thank you Julio. Yes winter does make things look beautiful, as long as there is some nice clean snow. :D :D

Yea Sandy. I understand that winter and snow can really be messy and miserable. I lived for two years in Nebraska. That was cold and I had a chance to live through the brown slush and frozen toes. I am a born and raised Southerner (Florida) and now live in Southern California. Winter and snow still has a magical quality to it.
