The 5 intake towers at Saluda Shoals Dam on Lake Murray (located Northwest of Columbia, SC). The dam is 1.7 miles long. The dam was the largest earthen dam in the world when completed in 1930 and the largest man-made lake in the world at that time. We live on this lake, about 10 miles by boat from the towers. http://www.lakemurray-sc.com/ #lakemurray #southcarolina
A beautiful Lake Murray sunset from Dreher Shoals Dam on the Saluda River. Lake Murray is about 12 miles northwest of Columbia, South Carolina. This picture was taken in August 2012 from the south side of the Dreher Shoals Dam. Lake Murray is located within 4 counties of central South Carolina. It's a popular lake for boating, fishing and water sports. My wife and I are fortunate to live on this beautiful lake - about 10 miles by boat from this spot. #lakemurray #lakemurraysc

Property was under construction on the floor we were on. Sawing and beating began at around 7:30 in the morning. Staff were helpful and friendly. The only complaint was the construction zone on our floor.
