Hoover Dam

When I go to Arizona from Vegas, I pass over Hoover Dam--but usually at dawn or late afternoon, never when the light is quite right.

So, today I took a drive over there to catch the mid-morning light on the Lake Mead side-- and then the sunlight just after Noon, when it pours down the immense face.


The new bridge to bypass the dam is now linked and shows up in some of the shots from below the dam This entire dam area is quite a tourist attraction; there seem to be thousands of people there every day, not just on weekends.




The still photo above and the video below is from the upstream, or Lake Mead, side of the Dam and shows the inlet towers.
