WPA Water Tower

This limestone water tower, built in 1939, was part of Franklin D. Roosevelt's Works Progress Administration program to provide people with jobs during the Great Depression.  It was decommissioned in 1965 when the park switched to city water.

Found this image, taken in 2012, while browsing my Lightroom library.

I didn't watch fireworks for the Fourth this year, so here's a throwback Thursday from 2015.

Dam Construction

The Lake Byllesby Dam in Cannon Falls has been undergoing major construction.

I have been coming to this site since the 1980s.  While it is nice to now have a pedestrian bridge over the river in order to take shots like this, it is bittersweet that I will no longer be able to walk out on the waterfalls portion.
