"A day at Long Lake Dam"

Photo courtesy of Ron E. Trees. Photographer Ron Trees recently spent some time photographing the area around Washington State's Long Lake Dam, and he returned home with this jewel, among others. Here are a few words from Ron about the image: "A couple of weeks ago we did some scouting around an area that we really have not been to before. We found Long Lake Dam, not far out of Spokane. Here is a bit of history, but in a quick search, I could not find much. It is a great place to go see! This picture is of the river and the bridge just below the dam. We found the dam late in the day, and I waited until the sun had just set behind the mountain behind the bridge. I then used my Sony A700 and Sony 18-250 lens along with a Tiffen Gradual Grey Neutral Density 6 filter to capture this image. It was shot handheld and developed using Adobe Lightroom Beta 2."   Click here to comment on this picture.   Visit the POTD Archives for previous "Pictures Of The Day"!     Submit a photo of your own!                                 Place the "Picture of the Day" on your website, for free!
