On the Dam

Two guys fishing on the down side of the dam in Three Rivers. The dam is on South River Road.

This is the dam in Constantine, MI. I go by this almost every day on my way to and from work.

I'm not sure which of these two I like the best. So I'll post them both. I took them from slightly different vantage points...one closer and one further.

I stopped on the way home tonight to take some pictures at the dam in Constantine. There was a guy fishing there at the dam, and he asked if I wanted him to get out of the way so I could take the pictures. I asked him if I could include him in the pictures instead. He said that was cool, but he got a call on his cell phone and took off when I was across the way and didn't get a chance to get his name or talk to him any more. Maybe I'll see him around.

This dam is really cool. It channels some of the St. Joseph River water to a canal that is about 500 yards long. At the end of the canal is a power plant and the water ejects from underneath the plant underwater. Also, there are boat races here some weekends in the summer. It was very peaceful today though.
