Thanks! I'm not so glad about the road, hiding a part of the landscape. I must have another photo somewhere...

Beaufortain is one of the most beautiful valleys in Savoy, check out if ever you come

You see a part of the dam at the bottom (I admit that I wanted the tractor on the picture, thus the background is not well shown. I will submit another photo).

As always, the plant is deeper in valley, allowing the water to gain pressure. In this case, the plant is very far... about one hour with car!

Here is a link to Google Map: [link]

Very cool. The scenery, the colors, the dam, the tractor...
The plant is quite far from the dam, but consider the pressure water gains on a 1200 m drop... impressive.
I love hydroelectric plants.
