Continuing along State Highway 83, North Otago, New Zealand this is the Aviemore Dam, where the water churns down from the man-made Lake Aviemore into the Waitaki River. Together with the Waitaki Dam and the Benmore Dam (our next stop) these dams comprise the Waitaki River Hydroelectric sytem which provides 30% of NZ's hydoelectric generation. This is the largest of the three and the most recently completed (1968).Thank you for viewing and aso for any comments left - I appreciate your feedback.

The image stands out on the new images pages, Lyn. The clarity is right on and the composition is really good too. Very well captured.

No place for a leisurely swim, that's certain. So many great lines in this shot, and all manufactured; in the steel, the concrete, and in the water roaring down the incline to the tailrace. Great focus, color and action, Lyn. I'm keeping this one. 8E

This is a great view of the dam, LynEve, and a wonderfully composed shot. Superb DOF and tack-sharp focus. Great exposure, as well, and I like the detail you've captured in the metal structure. From this location, I'm sure you can feel the vibrations of the pounding water as it pours over the dam.
