[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Laggan Dam, Glen Spean, The Highlands, Scotland.

According to Wikipedia: 'Laggan Dam is a dam located on the River Spean south west of Loch Laggan in the Scottish Highlands. The dam is 700 feet (213 metres) long and rises 170 feet (52 metres) above its foundations. The structure was built by Balfour Beatty for the British Aluminium Company and construction was finished in 1934.'

I do not take a lot shots of architecture but I find it very interesting and it is a nice change from my usual landscape shots. This photo was taken from car park next to the dam and the road A86.
