Wonder where you got that "Middle Earth" idea

 

^_^

The hydro-electric dam is your clue.

I guess, we need another clue...

Mid-Atlantic States

Kinzua Dam on the Allegheny River in Penn.?

Wham, Bam!!  Thank you Scott for the correct answer.  Your turn buddy and thumbs up

Dublin airport

oops! system failure. Carry on guys!

Dang I hate it when that happens.  LOL

Here you go, from the window of a C210.  Bonus points if you can give me the names of the mountain range, valley and the town I'm over (not visible in the shot).  Starting hint, western US.
 
Note however, that this is like the show Who's Line is it Anyway, where "everything's made up and the points don't matter". :ph34r:

Looks high and dry. Somewhere in NV?

I am going to guess you are over Lebec, CA, Hungry Valley and those are the Tehachapi Mountains.

 

Is it in UTAH by chance, KMLD over the eastern mountains looking SW

Hmm.  My response from a few hours ago to Gottfried didn't post for some reason.  My apologies.

 

Nope, not NV Gottfried and not CA either Mitchell.  I'll narrow things down a bit more and tell you that it's somewhere in the Rockies chain.

 

KMLD is a doggone good guess mrchsrider, as the topography is similar, but no again - though you're closer that anyone so far.  A bit further east.

Hmm, further east... how about coming out of afton just east of bear lake

Nope.  Further east.

 

Another hint: I'm at the northern end of a range that extends through two states.
