Today me and my friend Jon made a trip down to Grace, Idaho. There used to be a huge wooden aqueduct that ran through the valley to divert irrigation water from the Bear River onto the land, but it was removed in 2006, along with the Cove Dam on the Bear River (read an article about it here). In the spring of 2005, Darren, Jon, myself, Scott Wheeler, Theo Hatch, and Tyler Hopkins all went down and photographed the aqueduct, Cove Dam, and a few other sites in and around Grace. Today, Jon and I sought out some of the sites we photographed in 2005, and rephotographed them to document the change that has taken place (we both regret not having gone there at least once more before the demolition, as well as during to photograph). Here are a few before and after photographs:
It was really interesting to see all that has happened and changed in the two and a half years since I’d last been down there.
Here are some other photographs from the trip:
Sorry Darren, we couldn’t resist.
