This image was take by me in Spokane, WA on July 19, 2011 4:18 am.  It is of the Upriver Dam.  This dams purpose is to provide water for a large portion of the city of Spokane. Down river, perhaps 750 ft or so, is the second portion of the facility shown here:

 The electricity generated from the turbines is used to power the water pumps from the regional aquifer.  A Google search will clearly show the 2 damns and how they are arranged.  This third image shows the main spillway section in brighter conditions:

The last two images were also taken by me at approximately 6am.  The images are free to use but please credit my blog if you use the them.
