When I visited Hoover Dam in Nevada it was a late afternoon in November. Although the sun was still out things were becoming shadowy, which added to the drama of the scenery. I had the opportunity to stand on an observation deck with an unobstructed view of the dam. It was so massive that I just stood and stared at it for a long time. This picture shows the shadow of the bypass bridge against the dam. After that I walked on the sidewalk toward Lake Mead and I could see shadows forming there too. Here is some of what I saw.

Without a shadow of doubt these photos do justice to the word ‘shadowed’. ;)

Hoover Dam is really amazing when one considers the time it was built and what a grand construction it is and it is still standing! The area around Lake Mead is beautiful and rather ghostly at dawn or dusk. Great photos. Happy travels in 2015.

I love these dramatic shadows, Meg. Dams are always very grandiose, imposing places. Your shadows give them an added sense of the mysterious.
