Description
Built in the early 20th century, the Ashokan Reservoir in Ulster County, NY supplies water to New York City. This is a popular spot for walking, and a rail trail has been added nearby. Skilled Italian stoneworkers were brought over to construct the eye-catching bridge which carries cars and pedestrians over the reservoir. Twelve communities were impounded so that the valley could be flooded for the reservoir. Here I tried to capture a glimpse of that dark side of the reservoir's history in the way I processed the picture.
