This Dam is in Harpersfield Township, near Geneva, Ohio. Right next to it is one of the 17 covered bridges in Ashtabula county. Oct. 9th and 10th was the annual Ashtabula Covered Bridge Festival. Of course, I missed it, but was there on the 8th, not even knowing about the festival. I live 150 miles west of there, and I had to get back, and only got pictures of seven of the bridges. They will come later.

Thanks for the comments, friends.

I wonder if that tree trunk is still there now. All the elements of a fine shot Jim. The drama of the water and a beautiful autumnal background.

Great shot. The log really adds to it. Ohio is full of covered bridges. That would make a nice project.

Last night I lay in bed looking up at the stars in the sky and I thought to myself, where the heck is the ceiling.

Wonderful composition Jimbob. Love both the by you chosen angle and perfect fall tones in it. I'm curious for the other ones to come.
Regards, Cornelius.

This is a very nice image with all the reflections and the overflow and the beautiful autumn colours Jimbob. If all the images are as good as this then the trip was probably worthwhile.

A wonderful view. Like how the water is so smooth before the falls and the log almost going off the fall.
