To remove myself from the highway of idiots I took off on a side road. I had seen a dam off the side of the highway and decided it was a good thing to go see. So off I went. The high side of the dam was beautiful, with it's wildlife and glistening water with steam dancing on top. Such a gorgeous site. So peaceful, a nice change of pace from the rat-race that was the highway.
The other side of the damn was very different. The loud rumble of the water rushing out of water as it was released in a gushing arc of whiteness. Such beauty, such power. The difference of the two sides, so close yet so far away.
Off to the next dam place.
As I continued down the highway, I took in as much of the scenery a possible, looking for another place to find beauty, another sign, another side road waiting to be investigated. I came across my next dam sign not too far away. This one was a little off the beaten path but had a beauty of a train arch I could enjoy as well. It also made me a little leery.
It is not every day you see a sign like this. This dam wasn't as nice to photograph but I did it just so I could continue my dam trip. This is the only photo worth sharing from it as I was a little worried about getting blown up. Best not to do that!
One of the main reasons I decided to take a trip this time of year was the colors of the trees as they change. There is something just stunning about the change over. The oranges and reds mixing in with the greens, browns and yellows creates a beautiful color pallet. Absolutely peaceful blend of colors.
The last dam on my trip was another lovely one, not nearly as cool as the first but levels above the second. The top and bottom were both quite calm. It was small in comparison to the first two but was quite nice.
And that is the end of my dam trip. Now off to the beach part.
