7 mile dam in Trail - British Columbia

People of the Kalispel First Nation were the first to live in the Pend d'Oreille Valley, thriving on the area's abundant flora and fauna. The valley's name was coined by French-Canadian voyageurs in reference to the local native people that made a practice of wearing dangling shell earrings. In 1855 gold was discovered where the Pend d'Oreille River joins the Columbia River. The Dewdney Trail, stretching from Fort Hope to the gold fields near Fort Steele in the East Kootenays, opened this area up to mineral exploration, the development of mines, and later, to logging and hydroelectric power generation. Clearing for Pend d'Oreille Reservoir started in the fall of 1976.

Hi Ileana...very nice use of color in this shot. I like the oversaturated structure in the background constrasted with the dark foreground.
