The image displays Bagnell Dam in Lake Ozark, Missouri, United States, under a clear, cloudless blue sky. The concrete gravity dam extends across the midground, featuring ten visible spillway gates. Water is actively flowing from eight of these gates on the left side, cascading down the inclined concrete surfaces, which exhibit visible green algal growth and mineral staining. To the right, the dam integrates a powerhouse structure with industrial components, including transformers and overhead transmission lines, which ascend a densely forested hillside on the right side of the frame. The deep blue water of the lake in the foreground reflects the dam's structure and the sky, showing subtle ripples. The immediate foreground consists of an exposed, irregular shoreline composed of brown and dark gray gravel and small rocks, indicative of a visible waterline. No individuals, vehicles, or animals are present in the scene.
