I guess you could say I've been to Hell and back. On our trip to visiting friends who live near Detroit, Michigan we decided to visit Hell. Located north west of Ann Arbor, Hell reminded me a great deal of the biker destination Rabbit Hash, Kentucky. A quaint little town, Hell had a store, an ice cream parlor and a restaurant/bar. While mulling around behind the ice cream parlor I noticed the creek had a great deal or swirl action in it and decided to see if I could capture one or two of the elusive natural occurrences, to no avail. In the distance I could hear the dam and for the hell of it (pardon the pun) I decided to have a peek. I had no intention of shoot the dam but to my amazement the water flowing over the spillway was gold. I couldn't believe my eyes. I have never seen water of this color, the creek water color reminded me of the watercolor from a recent trip to West Virginia, but the spillway color is has a uniqueness all it's own. I would love to know what caused this unusual phenom.
