First pass of this view. The depth of water at the dam is approximately eighty feet. Moving further up stream to the right of and beyond the image, the water gets more shallow to finally meet up with the original Carmel River Drainage. Next year there will be no lake effect caused by the dam as the dam will be coming down in the coming months! I plan to do a painting from this location after the dam is taken out.
Soon I will be creating a painting from the dam itself...here is a view of three photos stitched together that I may use to get the composition down before painting onsite. Quite a complex view! in the middle is the fish ladder that the steelhead have to use to make their way to the top of the dam and into the reservoir. The dam is 106 feet tall.
