Sunset at Addicks Dam, Houston, Texas

The place: Addicks Dam ( & reservoir), Houston, about 3 miles from my house.

Time: winter (notice trees)

Camera: Lopp-ified spud on tripod

I will say we can have some pretty cool sunsets here. This is a favorite place for hiking and fishing. Not sure if the fishing is any good. Since it is so close to our house we frequently go here. The Addicks Reservoir and Addicks Dam in conjunction with the Barker Reservoir prevent downstream flooding of Buffalo Bayou in the City of Houston. In addition to the Reservoir’s flood damage reduction mission, recreation and nature observation opportunities abound through the approximately 26,000 acres (105 km²) of land that makes up Addicks and Barker reservoirs.
