San Luis Reservoir
Took a little drive yesterday...about 250 miles, and just had to stop to get this shot of the reservoir, my first ever. Usually not the most picturesque place, especially in the summer when the water is way down, but I thought this was worth stopping for.
In the winter and spring water from 180 miles of aqueducts and canals from the delta pump water uphill to the reservoir instead of allowing to just flow to the ocean. There are no streams or rivers that feed the lake. In the summer and fall, the water is delivered to the central valley for crop irrigation.
