I remember my potential cachet deliberations for this one. Finally, I decided on a view below the dam looking up at it. I added two male woodducks with their beautiful plumage. Finally a red bi-plane flying across the river provides interest for aviation topicalists. I believe this is the first time this cover has been in one of my sales. A bold and different cachet. The closest woodduck projects outward at lower right providing a somewhat 3-dimensional "look."
