My Image Your View: Old Mission Dam
Mar 15, 2021 12:40:21 #
This is one of my favorite places in San Diego to take walks and photos. A bit of history:
The Old Mission Dam is a historic water impoundment structure built around 1803 in San Diego. It was built to impound the San Diego River to provide water for irrigation of the fields associated with the Mission San Diego de Alcalá, the first Spanish mission in what is now California. It was the first major colonial-era irrigation project on the Pacific coast of the United States. The surviving remnant of the dam was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1963.

Hard to improve on your photo, took it entirely in a different direction. Thanks for letting us play.

I'm missinig a trick here. I downloaded the image but only got 74kb file, hardly worth messing about with. I had a go and though B&W looked pretty good and wouldn't mind another go, but how do i download a suitably sized file?

Make sure you're clicking on (Download) and not right-clicking on the image itself (I've made that mistake myself a few times

Thanks R.G., 1.8mb is considerably better. Try and remember that in the future.

Here's mine. No expert at this kind of stuff but I dabble occasionally. Mainly preset in Paintshop pro 2020 with a few minor tweeks that I thought looked O.K. Can't figure out how it jumped from 1.8mb to 7+ mb though.
