The Barton Dam

I headed up to Grand Rapids yesterday for the ArtPrize but I ended up taking a kind of round about way to get out of town.  Part of that way was passing by the Barton Dam.  I decided to stop by there because I haven't taken pictures there in a while and there were hints of color in the area.

 Looking down the river from the bridge.  It seemed like there was more color as I was heading in than on the river.

 It was a fairly nice day to take pictures though.  Since the dam was shut off, the water was pretty smooth so the reflections were nice.

 Sadly, I was shooting right into the sun.

 Again, I would have liked this picture a little more had I not been shooting into the sun.

 Tried to get a framed picture.

 I really like the colors on the dam itself.

One more picture before leaving.
