Montecello Dam Spillway, Lake Berryessa, Napa Ca.
Functioning just like a bathtub drain, when the resevoir is full, water spills thru this 72 foot diameter pipe which tapers down to a 28 feet opening at the base of the canyon. Completed in 1957 it lies 60 miles north of San Francisco, covers 20,000 acres and has 165 miles of shoreline. Some say the largest bass in California make this home!
I love that top picture. It looks like some sort of strange cosmic force that created a hole in a lake. Thanks for sharing it!
