Since this shot was taken, a mostly unknown but significant controversy has erupted about this little dam, which holds back a lake of 14340 acres (58 square kilometers). U.S. Federal regulations require this dam to maintained to certain specifications. This dam is owned by a nearby paper mill which was just purchased by a Hong Kong consortium, which may choose to close the mill and destroy the dam to avoid the expensive dam renovations ... thereby eliminating 400 factory jobs, and an entire fishing/boating tourism industry in already impoverished Downeast Maine. To say nothing of the broad-reaching environmental impact of reducing a huge lake to a marsh with stream running through it. An economic and environmental disaster looms, based on the whim of a bottom-line accountant half a world away.

L. L. Wall club has replied to Diane Putnam clubThere is every possible reason for this dam to be maintained, but it's fate is in the hands of bureaucrats in Washington DC and accountants in Hong Kong; all who have no knowledge (and perhaps, do not care) of the catastrophic economic damage to an already destitute region, and the environmental destruction of a huge local ecosystem that is home to one (of four in the whole US) sub-species of landlocked salmon.
(oops, just fell off my soapbox ...)
