Gordon Dam, Tasmania
One more photo from Tassie that I have forgotten about. If you ever go to Mount Field national park you must leave some time and go to Gordon Dam as well. It's one of the most impressive man made structure I have ever seen. You can even abseil down it like the guy in the photo! It takes ages to walk back up though haha.
Exams are starting again so all I can do now is just editing old stuff :(. I can't wait to take photos again.
Abseiling.

La nouvelle chapelle a été construite de 1874 à 1880 par l'architecte Hippolyte Durand avec un style néo-roman.
Les vitraux ont été réalisés par Antonin Léglise, maître-verrier à Auch.

Früh mit den ersten Sonnenstrahlen wurde an der imposanten Ausfahrt Meerane Stellung bezogen. Die alte Infrastruktur und Häuserzeile machten das Bild perfekt. 143 595 verlässt den Bahnhof mit der RB nach Glauchau, es war der letzte Tag vor dem großen Umbau und dem Estw. Auch der Ford Fiesta vom FDL ist heute schon ein Oldtimer. 26.2.2011

A short stop at the largest reservoir in Thailand to see the stunning view. There are few restaurants, shops, temples and boat trips to explore small islands.
You could also go to Chiang Mai via boats.

Thank you!
Another shot from my Kayak. Longhorn Dam was built by the city of Austin and finished in 1960 as the last in a chain of Colorado River dams in central Texas started during the Great Depression. The dam derives its name because it was the ford across the Colorado for longhorn cattle drives as a part of the Chisholm Trail in the late 19th century.
The dam stands 36 feet (11 m) high and runs 506 feet (154 m) across. The "reservoir impoundment length," is 5.75 miles (9.3 km), creating Lady Bird Lake (formerly called Town Lake), a freshwater lake with a surface area of 525 acres (2.1 km2) and a 12.5 miles (20.1 km) shoreline. The original purpose of Lady Bird Lake was a cooling lake for Austin's Holly Street Power Plant, a 570 megawatt natural gas and fuel oil fired power plant. The plant ceased power production in September 2007, and will be deconstructed beginning early in 2012.
On July 10, 2007 two teenage girls canoeing on Lady Bird Lake were sucked through the dam. The lake was closed for recreation due to record amounts of rain in the months of June and July, however the girls were unaware of the ban. Neither of the girls was hurt.
If conditions are good, as they were this morning, this is one of my favourite spots to take a photograph, Garreg Ddu Dam, Elan valley, Powys, Wales, UK
Abha dam, located on the western edge of the city of Abha, was constructed to reserve rainwater and floods in the Valley to maintain and provide drinking water for the city. It spans a length of 350 meters & a height of 33 meters with 2.13 million cubic meters of storage capacity.
An adjacent lake has been developed on one side of Abha dam that serves as an attractive picnic spot for the visitors. This lake is home to several species of birds including the new Saudi Arabian species named Hammerkop.
Lawers Dam was constructed in 1951-6 as part of the Breadalbane Hydro-Electric Scheme. The dam is of massive buttress type, and measures 344m in length and 42m in height. It has been constructed across the S end of Lochan na Lairige, whose water level has been raised by 27m. The reservoir is fed by a system of tunnels and aqueducts from a 45sq km catchment area, and from it the water drops 415m to the Finlarig power station on Loch Tay.
Shihmen Dam (Chinese: 石門水壩; literally: "Stone Gate Dam"; also spelled Shimen or Shihman) is a rock fill dam across the Dahan Creek in northern Taoyuan City. The dam's main purposes are water supply, flood control and hydroelectricity generation, and it holds the Shihmen Reservoir (石門水庫), Taiwan's third largest reservoir and artificial lake. Completed in 1964, the dam and reservoir now supply water to more than three million people in northern Taiwan. However, sedimentation issues have impacted and continue to threaten safe dam operations.

Beavers have taken a liking to the Ruby Anthracite Creek, which flows between the Ruby Mountains and the Anthracite Mountains in western Colorado. Three dams are visible in this frame, but there are many more.
This made me wonder, once again, whether beavers have a sense of esthetics--they work so hard to create reflecting pools to live in. But on the other hand, one might say that they build dams to build homes safe from predators--their lodges have underwater entrances.

The Pilchowice Dam and Hydroelectric Power Plant on the Bóbr River were built between 1904 and 1912.
The dam is 62 m high, 280 m long at the crest, 7.5 m wide, and 50 m wide at the base.
The dam created a reservoir on the Bóbr River with a total capacity of 50,000,000 m³.
In 2026, the reservoir was emptied and the dam underwent renovation.
