Saville Dam in Barkhamsted, CT is one of the most beautiful dams I have seen in my life. I wanted to visit it in Summer last year but could not manage to drive down there. The area is very scenic with lookouts over the reservoir and picnic areas near the parking lots. #night #nightphotography #stars #startrails #scenic #dam #waterbody
