Japan, Nagano Prefecture, Dam Near Norikura, 2007

Japan, Nagano Prefecture, Dam Near Norikura, 2007 - I found this scene to be rather other-worldly, and indeed it might be: as the human race rushes to "progress" - as this dam evidences - it is interesting the things we create. This dam is no doubt useful, and it is certainly interesting architecuturally. But I found it a bit disconcerting that it also seems like it is out of an alien scene, something of the making of a fairy tale in which some great and unfortunate sinister force is at work.
