Hetch Hetchy O'Shaugnessy Dam (#0634)
On O'Shaugnessy Dam. Somehow the weather seemed fitting -- heavy overcast with a light, cold, drizzle. Just like a winter day in San Francisco.

Don Barrett (aka DBs… club has replied to ClintClint has replied to Don Barrett (aka DBs… clubBut I think the reasons people outside California are so much more vocal about Hetch Hetchy versus the Owens Valley is much the same reason people are so much concerned about the possible extinction of pandas versus the Sacramento Delta smelt. The pretty one wins. People have their preferred aesthetics and base their outrage levels on that. The Owens Valley was someplace some might consider attractive, but ultimately seemed kind of plain, whereas Hetch Hetchy was a stunningly beautiful corner of a national park. Personally, I'm going to react much more vehemently to an incursion, past or present, in a place we've gone to the trouble of setting aside for protection than I am to a place that's largely farmland. That isn't to say I like what Los Angeles did any better or think it has any less environmental impact. I've read (and written) plenty about it, and I've watched Chinatown five times. But I understand why one seems worse to many than the other.
Don Barrett (aka DBs… club has replied to ClintAn interesting theme coming up in the multiple articles about the 100th anniversary of the national parks is that it took the NPS a long time to realize the value of preserving places that were not as dramatic in appearance as Yosemite/Yellowstone/Kings Canyon/Grand Canyon
