A Frozen Barton Dam

I saw some pictures earlier this week of ice on the Barton Dam and I thought they looked pretty neat.  Despite the temperature hovering around zero, I decided to head over there tonight.  I am glad I did.

 Parts of the Huron River had open water, but I think that had more to do with the flow of the water from the dam rather than the temperatures lately.  It was good because there were some waterfowl in there.  I did not bring my other lenses with me, so I could not get better pictures of them.

 A pair of swans swimming around in the river. 

 The dam itself looked pretty neat.  I was getting some of the light from the sunset too.

 The water near the dam was smooth enough that I could get the reflections in the water.

 The damn itself was frozen over.  It looked pretty neat in person.  I probably should have brought one of my other lenses so that I could get some close ups.

 The power house.

 another angle.

 This was probably my favorite angle of the dam because it showed the full expanse.  I probably would have gotten the more straight out shot but the stairs looked fairly precarious.

 Back to the power house.  I wonder if they could ever get this running again.

 I wanted to show the full expanse of the reflection in the water.  I liked the ripples.

 The walkway.

 Looking down the Huron River.

One of these days I would like to get a shot of the Wolverine passing by.
