These pictures of Shasta Lake were taken from Route 5 about 10 miles North of Redding, California. As been stated before Shasta Lake is an artificial Lake which was formed in 1948 as a result of the construction of Shasta Dam across the Sacramento River between the years 1935-1945. The main difference between the photos is the season when they were taken. The top photo was taken on May 4, 2012, the bottom was taken August 20, 2013. One can see an obvious difference in the water level in the photos. Besides the seasons, I am thinking that the Southern Cities in California are also contributing to this.
Holy cow! Reminds me of the pictures of Hoover Dam, with the drop in water volume. I'll take the springtime picture, thank you.
ReplyDeletehave to agree, the May pics were best...
