Nothing better than the light late on a sunny day.

Hydro power is 7 percent of the generation capacity in Oklahoma -- before arriving here I thought there would be zero percent.

You can see the powerhouse in the middle photo -- 126 MW capacity. Yesterday there was no water going through the turbines -- the sixth and eighth photos you can see how downstream is dry.

Here's a video I took while driving over the bridge -- at least part of the way. The dam (and road) were built in the last 30s -- the roadway is fairly narrow.
