Barton DamBarton Dam, is quite a sight to behold. Not only is it an impressive feat of engineering, but it also provides some seriously stunning views.

Maybe it's the fact that it's been standing there for over a century, or maybe it's the way the water rushes through the spillway when it's been raining.
