I just stumbled upon this photo in a friend of mine's Flickr stream. (I'm obsessed with Flickr btw, http://www.flickr.com/photos/spencerh6)
I just though it was really cool, but then I found out that this is 100% legit, NO Photoshop used!!

This is actually called a "plughole" it is a hole, in the water, that is used to stream water through a big dam!

I though it was really cool, and wanted to share it with you guyz

! Holy crap ! So it's man-made then, I spose? Almost looks like one of the "many holes in the earth" thing.

Btw, the link has an extra ) in it, so whoever clicks it, just copy and paste, and remove the: )

wow! That hole looks soo cool! But I am sure I wouldn't be canoeing on that lake course I don't want to fall into a bottomless hole

It just brings the water out on the other side of the dam.

Well obviously I was just exaggerating

so please don't kill me

but I am sure you would agree that it would really suck if someone falls into that hole no matter if its bottomless or leads to the other side of the dam
