•  Info Winter scene of the watching tower, dam and Mavrovo Lake, Mavrovo National Park, Republic of Macedonia. The park, founded in 1949, is the largest (of the three existing) in the country with 780 km², while the lake has a length of 10 km and a width of 5 km. Poco² 20:42, 10 May 2014 (UTC)

•  Oppose  Comment It is noted, a heterogeneous sky due to weather which bore the composition. An object in front instead of balancing the composition obstuye visibility to the end of the lake (I've added a note). This is a very good picture, this is just my humble opinion --Wilfredo R. Rodríguez H. (talk) 10:51, 11 May 2014 (UTC)

  Well, as you can see in the title the tower is an essential element of the composition rather that something disturbing, but I understand though what you say. Poco² 12:16, 11 May 2014 (UTC)

•  Support but, in my opinion, this one is much better. I also think the grey sky adds to the composition. --Kadellar (talk) 12:10, 11 May 2014 (UTC)

•  Support Just for the record: I assume the object in foreground is not a watching tower but a flood alleviation. (And Gecoding would be highly appreciated) --P e z i (talk) 19:24, 12 May 2014 (UTC)

   Geodata added but I am not sure about your comment. I believe that it is a watching tower, the flood alleviation you talk about is in the south side (please, follow the geodata). Poco² 20:54, 12 May 2014 (UTC)

   Comment Thanks for geodata and info. Since it is near to the dam, I'm still believing it's a flood alleviation; but perhaps it's a multipurpose object ... :-) --P e z i (talk) 21:44, 12 May 2014 (UTC)

   Comment I think Pezi is right and the "tower" is an entrance to an underground hydroelectric plant (similar structures are found in many reservoirs). It also looks like a dam on the satellite image. I guess this is the same tower?--ArildV (talk) 22:15, 12 May 2014 (UTC)

  Yes Arild, that's the same tower. I haven't been inside (the door was locked) but you may be right and be a way to get somewhere. Still, I have my doubts that there is a hydroelectric power plant somewhere down there because there was no water flow at the other side of the dam (but it could be guided in pipes under the surface). I have been searching for more information in the net but haven't found a clear answer. Poco² 20:29, 13 May 2014 (UTC)

  It is this hydro power plant. Some more information in German language; the pipes are 5km long. --P e z i (talk) 16:22, 15 May 2014 (UTC)
