Lake Brandt looks like it is hosting an installation by Christo and Jeanne-Claude, the married couple famous for installing enviornmental works of art by the mile. In reality, in the photo above, you see a barrier around Lake Brandt (at Lake Higgins) intended to keeping contaminants from entering the water while North Battleground (Highway 220) gets widened- Project R-2309. The project has been underway since May; however, only recently have we enjoyed the great, golden wall.* Tetra Tech of New York was awarded the 96 million dollar contract; we're betting they are the ones making sure that our drinking water stays safe and clean. Even in the above photo, you can see the difference in movement of water to the left of the barrier and to the right of it. We wish we had access to a small airplane to do an aerial photo shoot of the snakelike object. It is our own little Running Fence.
