Wood Pylons at Minsi Lake by olivetreeann

Wood Pylons at Minsi Lake

Minsi Lake was recently drained so that work could be done on the dam that regulates its water. The work is completed now and the lake is slowly being filled back up. While it has been drained there was still enough water to support a marsh ecosystem. A number of plants, birds and other wildlife are taking advantage of it. These pylons had a sign nearby stating that they were part of a program to assist the fish population. I have no idea how they do that, but it sure sounds intriguing!

I will be out of commission for most of Monday- so I shall return on Tuesday to catch up with everyone!
What an erethral photograph. Its just beautiful. Eerie, yet calm and inviting! Fav.

An interesting opportunity to see the bottom of a waterway. The pylons probably provide a place for the “Fish utilize physical fish habitat for spawning, foraging [and] seeking cover from predators." perfect opportunity to replenish the habitat features that have been lost due to the aging process of the lake" natural beneficial habitat has deteriorated or been covered with silt
Gret photo of it!

Some very interesting processing

Nature is very adaptive, maybe the pilings will give the young fish some hiding spots from predators when things are under water again. Love the edit.
