Spring Runoff at Granite Basin Lake

A wet winter in the Prescott area really created a show! As snow melted and the creeks began to run, the reservoirs overflowed. Granite Basin Lake was no exception as this small lake filled to the brim and began a cascade of water over the dam. Using a tripod and doing some timed exposures allowed for some fun captures of the water cascading over the dam. What a wondrous sound and the awe of so much water in Arizona! Enjoy these few photographs from that afternoon at the lake:
