Last night I was assigned to try to make a picture of a dam being removed over the Musconetcong River near Hackettstown, NJ. The job was in for 9 p.m., but I learned that it was a 9 a.m. job. This means the demolition would be done at 9 p.m. So my editor told me to try and get before dark and make a picture of what ever is there. All I found was rubble. After making my pictures for my assignment, I decided to try something for myself. This is what I came up with.
The rubble of what was the 50-year-old Seber Dam, in the Musconetcong River.

Saed,
Thank you for sharing your beautiful photograph! I was one standing in waders helping our partners the Musconetcong Watershed Association in their efforts to remove the obsolete Seber Grove Dam. And now the river runs free once again in this stretch.

Saed,
Great photo. I'll see you , I believe, at 9:00 a.m. on Monday. I am sorry for the confusion. You'll find the site less peaceful on Monday. Brian will be in waders and I'll have my 4 year-old in tow, that's how you can tell us apart!

Dear Brian, Beth and Rick. Thank you for your comments. There was a mixup in the time for the assignment. I was there in the evening after everyone left. I wouldn't have been able to make this photo if I was there earlier in the day, so I guess it work out better.
I won't be there Monday. I'm off on Mondays. Plus I'm not sure if we plan to return for more photos. The picture I made for the paper will run in Sundays paper.
Thanks again for your comments.

I saw this in my Bloglines and had to click through to see it bigger. Really beautiful and serene, Saed. I wish I could spend a moment standing there and then bend down to touch the smooth cool rocks before leaving.
Rachel,
Thank you. I really had fun making that photograph.
