Hoover Dam is a concrete arch-gravity dam in the Black Canyon of the Colorado River, on the border between the U.S. states of Nevada and Arizona. It was constructed between 1931 and 1936 during the Great Depression and was dedicated on September 30, 1935, by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Its construction was the result of a massive effort involving thousands of workers, and cost over one hundred lives. It was referred to as Hoover Dam after President Herbert Hoover in bills passed by Congress during its construction; it was named Boulder Dam by the Roosevelt administration. The Hoover Dam name was restored by Congress in 1947.
Since about 1900, the Black Canyon and nearby Boulder Canyon had been investigated for their potential to support a dam that would control floods, provide irrigation water and produce hydroelectric power. In 1928, Congress authorized the project. The winning bid to build the dam was submitted by a consortium named Six Companies, Inc., which began construction of the dam in early 1931. Such a large concrete structure had never been built before, and some of the techniques were unproven. The torrid summer weather and lack of facilities near the site also presented difficulties. Nevertheless, Six Companies turned the dam over to the federal government on March 1, 1936, more than two years ahead of schedule.
Hoover Dam impounds Lake Mead, the largest reservoir in the United States by volume when full. The dam is located near Boulder City, Nevada, a municipality originally constructed for workers on the construction project, about 30 mi southeast of Las Vegas, Nevada. The dam's generators provide power for public and private utilities in Nevada, Arizona, and California. Hoover Dam is a major tourist attraction, with 7 million tourists a year. The heavily traveled U.S. Route 93 (US 93) ran along the dam's crest until October 2010, when the Hoover Dam Bypass opened.

The end is near as the demo crew strips the power house. Plans to redevelop the 750 acre site are moving ahead. For now it's a sad area to view especially during an overcast morning.

Happy Windmill Wednesday!
Although these are now termed "wind generators" - so many still look at them as windmills ..just not the classics.
Normally I pass them up but the contrasting clouds sucked me in. :>)

A few weeks ago, I got to spend some time up on the St. Joe Sub after a concert in Atchison, and when I saw the signals indicating a northbound on its way, I set up for a shot at the Platte River bridge near Farley, MO (flic.kr/p/2nTCLCn).
Much to my surprise, the northbound turned out to be a Warbonnet solo shot, the BNSF 717 leading a Siemens generator on a depressed-center flat car. This was the J-MEMOMA, and it was heading to a new CNG power plant in Omaha. From there, I chased it north to the East Leavenworth siding, hoping to get some SCREAMING afternoon sun on it. Alas, it had to wait on a (flic.kr/p/2nTDnZn) that took just long enough to let the sun set below the western horizon. Hhh... oh, well. I'm still happy to have shot this rare move.
