stones on the shore of a lake
Oderteich - Harz
taken in 2010 with a Panasonic LX3 at 24mm / f2,5 / 1/100s
info:
Since 2010, the Oderteich has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site as part of the "Upper Harz Water Regale" cultural monument.
The mortarless dam was built from hewn granite blocks and sealed with granite sand. In contrast to normal sand, this granite sand is completely impermeable to water. The 166-meter-long and 19-meter-high dam has been fulfilling its purpose in almost unchanged form for three centuries.
