....the walls of the Derwent Dam holding back 2000 million gallons of water. To the left of this view the dam walls are over 60ft high - and believe me that is many steps - I had to stop for 10 minutes to get my breath back! lol!

Good dam shot Fogz. I like how you used it to frame the photo. The trees on the far shore add nice coloring. Nice post.

Thanks for sharing Patti. Like the View.
If I'm not Mistaken I think 2000 million is the same as 2 Billion. I need a Kackalator! LOL.

Impressive and wonderful post Patti. Have to tease you somewhat: ten minutes is a rather long time for a young lady like you (would have cost me at least twenty minutes, LOL!).
Regards, Cornelius.

The gold colours of the trees on the bank in the background are terrific, and I like the way the dam itself is dark and mysterious. I'm glad you didn't show that sheer drop, I'd have got vertigo.
