[Ligne directrice - Note] Note du photographe
Hoover Dam, also known as Boulder Dam, is a concrete gravity-arch dam in the Black Canyon of the Colorado River, on the border between the U.S. states of Arizona and Nevada. The dam, located 30 miles (48 km) southeast of Las Vegas, is named after Herbert Hoover, who played an instrumental role in its construction, first as Secretary of Commerce and then later as President of the United States. Construction began in 1931 and was completed in 1935, over two years ahead of schedule. The dam and the power plant are operated by the Bureau of Reclamation of the U.S. Department of the Interior. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1981, Hoover Dam was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1985.

Lake Mead is the reservoir created behind the dam, named after Elwood Mead, who oversaw the construction of the dam.

Quite an engineering feat and Mead has a lake named after him in tribute. Interesting point of view here at the tower rather than the usual dam shot. Well done.

Hi, my friend!
It is very interesting building, very interesting tower. Good composition. I think should be more intensive colours and more contrast and shrapen. Very oryginal frame.

Hola elias, me gusta tu foto por la originalidad, además del buen enfoque y bellos colores. Un beso desde España.

Olá Elias, muito interessante esta torre que mais parece ter saído de um filme de ficção ciêntifica antigo pelas suas linhas que deveriam ser muito modernas na altura da sua construcção, em 1931. Não há dúvida que deve ter um grande impacto na paisagem. Gosto da composição, embora tentasse que o passadiço não estivesse em frente da rocha branca lá atrás, mas provavelmente isso não seria possível...
O Marek fez-te um excelente WS para avivar a imagem.
Bom resto de semana,
ricardo

Olá Elias

Gosto desta foto; cores bem bonitas, boa luz, sombras e enquadramento.
Grande abraço,
Vera

Looks a little strange, thanks to that close crop. Looks even like a sci fi image from the 50's. Quite mysterious and then interesting !
