Looking west along Highway 212 - Watertown, SD

Many of you know that due to construction navigating east Highway 212 in Watertown takes considerable patience if done at the wrong time of day. But on a Sunday morning at 8:30 am, you would have the road almost entirely to yourself. Timing is everything. The same goes for photography.

Yesterday morning was a perfect time to fly my drone and I went hunting for other construction projects besides those near our house that I’ve photographed so much. Clearly, There’s a lot going on in our town. Here are a few of the ongoing projects in Watertown:

  • Housing development 1/4 mile west of Hobby Lobby. (Road on right is Willow Creek Drive)

  • New development 1/4 mile NW of Hobby Lobby (on north side of Willow Creek Drive)

  • New road and development just north of 212 and west of Trav’s Outfitters

  • New car wash across the street from Culver’s

  • New construction at Benet Place (Harmony Hill)

  • Glacial Lakes Ethanol - not new construction but I couldn’t resist.

  • The last picture is a satellite view of the drone locations for the main post and the first 4 photos in the slide show.
