Recent aerial orthophoto image of the S**o NLF. I use a free Aerial GPS processing software package, so the edge of structures and the 3D model are a little wonky. Additionally, I flew the "mission" at a higher altitude to make the post-processing quicker. To improve on the image and the 3D model, I'll need to re-fly at a more normal Ortho height of around 150 feet above grade

February 27, 2022. A view up the fishway, using a wide-angle panorama, during higher flows following a February thaw. I'm kind of fascinated with the root ball on the last weir and how long it will hang on before being washed all the way through the fishway.

Pulled some of the video together and put it on YouTube to make it easier to share. Funny that my Microsoft Video Editor (comes with Windows 10) doesn't save in 4K yet.

This is a video from January 2022 of the Springs Dam Nature-like Fishway which was constructed by Sargent Corporation for Brookfield Renewable in 2019 with p...

Slow drone video up the fishway from about 15-20 feet above ground level (AGL). Love the ice rings that formed around these large 4-ft-wide weir stones during the recent cold snap.
