Hoover Dam, Las Vegas

"The beaver told the rabbit as they stared at the Hoover Dam: No, I didn't build it myself, but it's based on an idea of mine" - Charles Hard Townes

 

Hoover Dam is a concrete arch-gravity dam in the Black Canyon of the Colorado River, on the border between the states of Nevada and Arizona.

 

It was constructed between 1931 and 1936 during the Great Depression.
