Here is another picture from my panoramic series. I had posted the earlier one here
Seen below is the Calaveras Reservoir, located in the Santa Clara County. The reservoir has a capacity of 100,000 acre-feet (123,000,000 m³). Calaveras Dam, which creates the reservoir, used to be the largest earth fill dam in the world. It is 210 feet (64 m) tall and was completed in 1925. The city and county of San Francisco owns the dam and reservoir. This region is a geologically active area with the Calaveras Fault running below it. A lot of mini quakes are reported everyday in and around this area.

Some of the most common animals include deer, coyotes, squirrels, turkeys, vultures, red-winged blackbirds, yellow-billed magpies, red-tailed hawks, brewer's blackbirds, purple martins, barn swallows, bullock's orioles, and warblers. It is also abundant with farms having horses and cows.

ReplyDeleteBREATHTAKING....One word..just enough I hope :-)

Hi Gangadhar. It is always peaceful to drive up there, though the roads can become real curvy some places.
ReplyDeleteThank you Margie :)
ReplyDeleteThanks starry. Will post them soon.

Hi Rauf, i know. Not much foreground. The edge i was standing at dropped steep and the road behind me was very narrow.
ReplyDeleteThank you K. You pics are tops too :-D
ReplyDeleteThanks Ash.
ReplyDeleteboo... I had to cover both ends of the reservoir and had to stitch 7-8 images to get the whole picture. The more number of images to stitch, the more wider is the final panoramic image. If you remember my windmill pic, i only stitched 3 images to get the final one.
ReplyDeleteRadhika. Thanks! one word makes a world of difference :)
ReplyDeletethe world's largest dam is in China 'Three Gorges' and i think number 5 or so is Tarbela dam in Pakistan. What is an Earth Fill Dam?
ReplyDeleteThe panoramic picture is soo great .. the water looks soo blue (hence clean)
Never been to that place, but travelled towards north.
ReplyDeleteGood shot buddy!!!
happy vacation :)
