Photo taken at Hoover Dam an engineering marvel.
In the bag drop is the memorial made for those who worked on this project and for those who gave their life for the project.
Hoover Dam was the largest concrete structure in the world, and also the largest power-producing entity. With time all that might have gone, but the artificial lake it creates among the gorgeous Grand Canyons-Lake Mead-is still the worldâs largest man-made reservoir. Simply spectacular!

Taken at the Linn Cove Viaduct Visitor's Center.
This is an amazing trail to walk!! You end up right under the Viaduct itself where you can see the exact structure, including the bowl-shaped spans, of the Viaduct.
The path to the observation area winds through deep woods and the Wildflowers and trees are stunning!
It's a strange but interesting feeling to be "eyeball to eyeball" with traffic going by on the Viaduct, especially after you see how massive the 'overhang' actually is!

Revising favorite childhood haunts - I had a few weeks back in Arizona and this album covers images from that visit and a visit to Puerto Penasco, Mexico where we were delighted with an ultra rare show of northern lights.

Looking down the face of the Hoover Dam. This gives you an idea, but not the full perspective, of the view, and the massive structure - and achievement it represents.

February 1, 2026 - "This span is an iconic connection between the historic district of the City of Dublin and a new commercial district across the Scioto River to the east, enhancing the character of the surrounding historic neighborhood with a modern iconic element. The bridge connects parkland 40 feet below the bridge deck with the eastern bank of the Scioto. Located in the Midwest, the design is for a two span (350-foot each), 700-foot total length by 14 foot wide pedestrian bridge. The bridge deck is “S” shaped in plan with a radius of 500 foot and is anchored into the earth at the embankments."

Carving a serpentine path through the rugged, sun-scorched terrain of the Argentine Northwest, this breathtaking mountain pass reveals the raw, geological majesty of the Salta region. The winding asphalt ribbons intricately down into a plunging valley, flanked by colossal, weathered peaks that fade into a hazy, atmospheric blue in the distant cordillera. Arid slopes dominant the foreground, their textural details illuminated by harsh, direct sunlight that throws deep, dramatic shadows into the crevices and gorges. Shot with a sweeping wide-angle perspective and a deep depth of field, the composition effortlessly guides the viewer's eye along the dizzying hairpin turns that anchor the midground. The high-contrast lighting underscores the sheer scale and topographical complexity of the Andean foothills, highlighting the layered ridges that fold endlessly into the horizon. The stark clarity of the high-altitude air enhances the crispness of the textures, from the rocky scree to the surprisingly verdant patches of terraced agriculture clinging to the lower slopes. These green, cultivated stepped fields offer a striking visual and thematic contrast against the prevailing barrenness, hinting at the resilient agricultural practices of the high-altitude communities. The road itself, an engineering marvel cutting through unforgiving topography, serves as a vital artery connecting isolated Andean outposts to the broader plains. This arid, sweeping landscape encapsulates the untamed spirit of the Puna and the profound isolation that defines the high-desert plateaus of northern Argentina. The interplay of light, shadow, and human intervention against nature's monumental scale creates a compelling visual narrative of endurance and exploration. This image is a collaborative production by Samuel Jeffery and Audrey Bergner for Project 23.

Tallando un camino serpenteante a través del terreno escarpado y abrasado por el sol del noroeste argentino, este impresionante paso de montaña revela la majestuosidad geológica cruda de la región de Salta. Las sinuosas cintas de asfalto descienden intrincadamente hacia un valle profundo, flanqueado por picos colosales y desgastados que se desvanecen en un azul brumoso y atmosférico en la cordillera distante. Las laderas áridas dominan el primer plano, sus detalles texturales iluminados por la dura luz solar directa que proyecta sombras profundas y dramáticas en las grietas y gargantas. Tomada con una amplia perspectiva gran angular y una gran profundidad de campo, la composición guía sin esfuerzo el ojo del espectador a lo largo de las vertiginosas curvas cerradas que anclan el plano medio. La iluminación de alto contraste subraya la enorme escala y la complejidad topográfica de las estribaciones andinas, destacando las crestas en capas que se pliegan interminablemente en el horizonte. La marcada claridad del aire de gran altitud mejora la nitidez de las texturas, desde el pedregal rocoso hasta los parches sorprendentemente verdes de la agricultura en terrazas que se aferran a las laderas inferiores. Estos campos verdes, cultivados y escalonados ofrecen un sorprendente contraste visual y temático contra la esterilidad predominante, insinuando las prácticas agrícolas resilientes de las comunidades de gran altitud. La carretera en sí, una maravilla de la ingeniería que atraviesa una topografía implacable, sirve como una arteria vital que conecta los aislados puestos de avanzada andinos con las llanuras más amplias. Este paisaje árido y extenso encapsula el espíritu indómito de la Puna y el profundo aislamiento que define las mesetas del desierto alto del norte de Argentina. La interacción de luces, sombras y la intervención humana contra la escala monumental de la naturaleza crea una narrativa visual convincente de resistencia y exploración. Esta imagen es una producción colaborativa de Samuel Jeffery y Audrey Bergner para el Proyecto 23.

This is an amazing trail to walk!! You end up right under the Viaduct itself where you can see the exact structure, including the bowl-shaped spans, of the Viaduct.
The path to the observation area winds through deep woods and the Wildflowers and trees are stunning!
It's a strange but interesting feeling to be "eyeball to eyeball" with traffic going by on the Viaduct, especially after you see how massive the 'overhang' actually is!
