Rosevelt Dam, 1983

What a beautiful shot! Beth

Water was being let out of the dam to prevent it from being overtopped. It has since been raised to prevent similar situations. It was a spectacular show!

It must have been something to watch. And hear! You've done a wonderful job capturing the feeling of the event and also finding the beauty in the light and colors. Beth

Thanks Beth, the whole of southern Arizona flooded that fall. I have another image - the split panel of Redfield Canyon - showing the effect in a small canyon near here. Tucson was cut off for a few days except to the east as the interstate bridges fell into respective rivers... it is a desert here you know... ;)

Hello Cbaisan,

Impressive picture, I can hear the sound & feel the vibration from here too! thank you for sharing this picture with us :)

Thanks for the comment shafiraestate, glad you enjoyed this picture. Regards, CB

One gets a very good impression of how much power and force water can exert from this shot. I like it a lot.

Indeed not1, and here is another view, diferent perspective on water power. This one here is a favorite of mine.
