Which I opened very gingerly... ;) Independence Lake, Sierra Nevada, California, a moderate-sized reservoir now completely owned by the Nature Conservancy and open to hiking and other non-motorized uses. As I remarked below, I figure they must be grazing cattle too, and the fence is to keep them out of the picnic areas and campground. I think it would just make a bear mad!

Pine Forest Range, Nevada, USA. The gears in the foreground are for the gate that controls discharge from the reservoir. The shrub with small yellow blooms is rabbitbrush, a very common element of the local flora. It was hazy that day due to smoke from wildfires in California.

Big Smoky Valley, Nevada, USA.

Harlan County Dam, Republican River, Nebraska, USA.
