A view - Australian country, hillside living

So then I assume man made?
In either way, you captured it really well. Just adore those low clouds!

Yes ... man made. A proper concrete dam with slipways etc is at the end of the valley holding all the water in. The river is flooded and the lake is born. Brisbane has water. My Stanley River Rflections shot was taken a few k's down stream from the slipway/dam .... where it runs into Lake Wivenhoe ... another lake with a full dam wall which supplies Brisbane.
When you get years without decent rain ... you need to store a lot of water somehow.

Thanks again

Actually we have a few dams here as well complete with towns under them.

and my understanding is that there's an entire fort under the Lahave River down towards the sea.

But definitely in Nova Scotia you are only a short drive away from a lake no matter where you are.

I'm surprized you have to make lakes for water resources over there but there you go
