Hoover Dam

Posted on October 26, 2008 by bipolarlawyercook| 7 Comments

There are lots more pho­tos to come, but of every­thing in Vegas, Hoover Dam was cer­tainly mon­u­men­tal.  The heat and the dry desert air made the col­ors and air clar­ity astound­ing– stark shad­ows, bright out­lines, incred­i­ble bright­ness and sky. I’m also a huge fan (along with the BH) of Art Deco archi­tec­tural ele­ments, of which there were just too many to count. It was really a Wonder.

    I love the artistry that went into build­ing this mas­sive piece of machin­ery! The deco style let­ter­ing, the mon­u­ments the sheer pre­ci­sion and qual­ity that is so appar­ent was cap­tured beau­ti­fully in your pho­tos. Thank you for shar­ing, it makes me want to see it in person!

    Wow. I’ve never been there, but I’ve been to Grand Coulee Dam. The same mon­u­men­tal archi­tec­ture. Really amazing.

    Great shots — I haven’t been to Hoover Dam since I was a kid, and I don’t think I under­stood at the time what a mon­u­men­tal achieve­ment it was. All of those art deco details are lovely…
