This picture reminds me of war of the worlds.

Thanks, MSF. This whole area has kind of an unworldly feel about it in person as well. Crazy place. Really.

Did you hear loud horn sounds? Occasional flashes of light? Strange dust floating in the air? : )

Joel,

Fantastic shots

The lighting looks like a large scale movie set.

Congrats on the cover also. I'm proud for you!

too bad you got run off!

Cool shots, good job landing the printing.

I agree with the limited size offering on prints. Keep it simple
I would think the construction company would order several of them

Pays for that Vegas shopping trip then?

It wasn't a "cool" place when I rode over the dam 2 years ago on my Goldwing in June


Side story:

I was showing these pics to my dad & he said, "that things almost full. I saw it when I was 15 (he's now 82, so that would have been 1942), we were going to California to work in the Navel shipyard, and crossed over the dam. It hadn't filled up much since it opened, and was only a little river at the bottom."

I asked him if he took a picture. His response:"We didn't even own shoes, much less a camera!"

The picture with the sparks is stunning! Congrats on beautifully capturing such a unique moment in time and history.

We visited Hoover Dam in 2006, when construction was in very early stages.....

WOW

I have been waiting for someone to post such a GREAT picture.

After watching this bridge since it started and through the skyway crash, I knew some day it would get to this point. Our kids moved to Kingman in 2001 so this has been a work in progress I have been watching for many years.

THANK YOU for showing the image from the dam. The WEBCAM only offfers the endpoint views

YOU DONE BETTER THAN GOOD

Keep up the good work
