Dam, big

It may be hard to tell at first glance, but this photograph, taken in May of this year (2016), features Ian and Emily, huddled at the base of what can only be called a towering wall of a local reservoir. Behold my family-oriented version of Carl Sagan's famous Pale Blue Dot! The backdrop is the Wachusett Dam in relatively nearby Clinton, MA. The reservoir was, at its completion in 1905, the largest public water supply in the world, and the dam the largest gravity dam in the world.
