I decided to play along with A Photo A Week Challenge with the topic of Cut by a River.
Blue Mesa Dam
is on the Gunnison river about 30 miles below Gunnison, and 1.5 miles below Sapinero, Colorado. The zoned earthfill embankment has a structural height of 390 feet, a crest length of 785 feet, and a volume of 3,080,000 cubic yards of materials. The spillway consists of a concrete intake structure with two 25- by 33.5-foot radial gates, concrete-lined tunnel, concrete flip bucket structure, and stilling basin. Maximum discharge of the spillway is 34,000 cubic feet per second.
Photos taken in the late 1990s.

Hee hee! We all have our phobias, and as long as we find a way to manage them they help make us all unique.

The greenish tinge is probably reflection from the trees 😀
