Could some good Samaritan explain?

Bottom left guys.

What I said.

 

[Kamikazie]

What he said. I have brown everywhere. It's ok though, it's Reeses.

 

[Sheepo]

How can you not see it? I saw it before I even read the caption. Not particularly scary either.

 

[Zephos]

One of the creepier ones I thought.

 

[Lizardizzle]

woah, I saw it. I had to tilt my laptop screen down and look at it to increase the contrast

 

[mindless_moder]

 

[Kinslayer]

What I said.

Oh.

My monitor is actually set correctly so I didn't see it (was all black), so I had to turn up my monitor brightness.

It should be renamed to, "How you know your monitor brightness is too high".

 

[Unfocused]

I saved the image, opened it in irfanview, raised the gamma and only then I saw it. WTF. Maybe if I was sitting in a completely dark room I'd see it, without making it unnaturally bright.

[Rizzo]

Im still only at step 6.

A photo tour of the Don Pedro spill of 1997

In January of 1997, for reasons I don't remember, a local reservoir here in California was taking in more water than it could handle.
The dam and the resulting reservoir have been around for many years (construction completed in 1923),
but my experiences with it are far younger than that (the spillway here is a hoot to ride a skateboard on).
In this picture, you can see one of the three channels of the spillway:


Anyway, I don't know the events that led up to the flood, but the word on the street was that the spillway
had not been needed for relieving water for so long that it was forgotten as an option until it was too late
when the water levels reached critical marks. I don't know if I buy this myself,
but the bottom line is that the water began cresting a nearby dike, which began washing out a nearby road, and that got some attention.
They opened the gates up and let the water out. The dike is on the right, and three vehicles are on the left (for scale):



The water flew down the spillway up the cement ramp and, as you can see in the above picture
cleared the height of the little canyon that the spillway rests in. The resulting water rush gorged out
the mellow valley created from normal runoff all the way to the bedrock:



These pictures were taken this weekend, twelve years after the flood.
This shows the rebuilt road and a vehicle for scale:



Eventually, Google Earth was created, and their aerial view shows us the relatively new rip
through the countryside (starts just to the left of center at the top):



Here's a closer view of the spillway:



Where this gash ("Twin Gulch") finally met the downstream flow from the dam of the same reservior,
a new delta was created. This picture shows this confluence before the flood:



...and Google Earth has this shot with the revised confluence:



After the flood, I never rode there again. It's rare that the level of the lake is anywhere near the spillway,
but maybe it was the sudden attention that the previously forgotten spillway now received (which is bad for skateboarding).
Some of the local gold miners scoured the fresh purge for gold, but once the road was repaired,
the spillway soon disappeared back into obscurity, even from me. My wife and I were in the area for other reasons this weekend
when we stopped to take some pictures and I thought I'd share this story.

I was joking.

 

[MJ12]

No he wasn't!

 

[SamuraiKenji]

That was ****in' creepy

 

[mchammer75040]

For some reason my tv magically kicked on and woke me up at 4 am this morning, and the first thing I thought of was that picture. **** you.

 

[L3N!N]

 

[Sheepo]

The ****ing picture isn't even scary. You guys are stupid.

 

[Kamikazie]

No u. lol

[Higlac]

Interesting design, what's it from?

 

[Viperidae]

L'artilleur, duh.

 

[Higlac]

My French is horribly lacking, The artillery? Art-something? What?

 

[Shakermaker]

My French is horribly lacking, The artillery? Art-something? What?

It's the design for a World Expo poster: clickeh. L'Artilleur is the name of a magazine it seems. An artilleur is the person operating a canon, but it this case in is probably used as a play of words.

 

[AKIRA]

reminds me of

 

[Tollbooth Willie]

I don't get it. It's a little girl. Bitch needs a skull**** is all I can say.

GET OUT OF HERE FARMERS.
