Barkhamsted, CT, USA. Completed in 1940, the Saville Dam is 135 feet tall and 1950 feet long, creating an 8 mile long reservoir of 36.8 billion gallons of water from the Farmington River as a primary water source for the greater Hartford area. This is the upper gatehouse, with fine stonework, sitting atop the earthen dam. Three bracketed exposures, combined with HDR work, are in this image. Enjoy!

Four eyes are better than two.
I like how the rough, dark gray cut stones, on either side of the door, contrast with the lighter gray cut sontes, making them look like either keys or crosses. I also like your positioning of the structure, offset to allow the size of the lake itself to come through.

If you've ever wanted to make a difference but found it hard to believe that one person could... check out the Kiva Team Caedes discussion thread and discover that anything is possible.
FDR really lets the colors shine through Thad. Well composed and the strip of the lake really brings the scene to life.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.
Beautiful capture of the gatehouse and surroundings against that sky Thad.

Smooth seas do not make skilful sailors.
For sure they don't make them like that anymore a interesting capture.

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
Very impressive, not only in the structure itself, but also your postwork. I like that we can see the water, and the autumn colors. Tigs♥ =^..^=

Nature in all her glory is my uplift on life and so is my love of photography. sandi ♪ ♫
Most unusual and impressive dam photo. Gorgeous scene. The architecture style of the gatehose is a familiar shape for me. This looks like some ancient structures of Seljuklu, here in my country. -Tanju

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
Absolutely perfect shot and post work !

That's an amazing shot, Thad. The door really stands out. Excellent work.

Fancy dam here. Looks like an excellent painting. It is so sharp. The blues are great!

Wow, this is what I call a top notch photo. Incredible detail. I love the grey stones of the dam contrasting with the blue sky scattered with white clouds here and there. You have done a super job in focus and composition and of course in post-processing of this shot. Very nice!
