Cycling California, Campbell/Los Gatos

Today was an afternoon ride through Campbell and Los Gatos, it was a cool and overcast 65* f day and a bit breezy. The shot below is at a peaceful park named Vasona lake. Lexington reservoir feeds this lake via stream and is about 5 miles south in the Los Gatos foothills. Dams were built at both locations.
The fresh water feeds percolations ponds in campbell which fills an underground 'well' for drinking water in Santa Clara county.
