This is a full view of the Hoover Dam with the hydro-electric station at the bottom and a small part of the Lake Mead reservoir behind. The dam is a short drive from Las Vegas, Nevada and is the main source of power for that city. You can clearly see the white ring around Lake Mead which indicates the normal water level. At the time this was shot, the water level was 30 or 40 ft. below normal due to years of persistent drought in the Rocky Mountains that feed the Colorado River.
From Wikipedia—
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. Originally known as Boulder Dam from 1933, it was officially renamed Hoover Dam for President Herbert Hoover by a joint resolution of Congress in 1947.
The height of the dam is 726.4 ft (221.4 m) and the length is 1,244 ft (379 m). A total of 3,250,000 cubic yards (2,480,000 cubic metres) of concrete was used in the dam before concrete pouring ceased on May 29, 1935. Core samples taken in 1995 showed that the concrete has continued to cure and harden.
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 called 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 it is full). The dam is located near Boulder City, Nevada, a municipality originally constructed for workers on the construction project, about 30 mi (48 km) 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; nearly a million people tour the dam each 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. I took this shot from the bypass bridge.

I finally got around to having another look at the shots I took that day...thanks to the rain ;-)

I was not about to post today but then I realized that it's exactly two years since I joined Flickr today. :-) Of course I have to celebrate with two pink flowers. I'm so glad for all people I've "met" and the inspiration you share daily!
Happy (pink) Tuesday!

Dipsacus is a genus of flowering plant in the family Caprifoliaceae. The members of this genus are known as teasel, teazel or teazle. The genus includes about 15 species of tall herbaceous biennial plants growing to 1–2.5 metres tall. Dipsacus species are native to Europe, Asia and northern Africa. .
Busseau sur Creuse, 23 France. Taken from the same position as the previous photo, but looking north towards the road bridge, which carries the D50 road across the river. I'm not sure how old this is, but I suspect it was built near the end of the 18thC. This was the first time I've used Foma 200 since it's recall, and sad to say, it still seems very vulnerable to scratches, but this might be due in part to the fairly primitive finish of the Hongmei! Taken for International Commie Camera Days 2013, with a 1970's Chinese made folding camera.

Staying overnight at this state park allows for some great photos opportunities that aren't available to the day users. The sunrise and sunsets weren't cooperating this time, so a departure from my typical photos was in order.
Both elevated. The condo association at that bird house is behind on its maintenance work.
A juxtaposition photo, a bit of "compare and contrast." What is not visible is that all those windows and birdie balconies have a lovely view of Gap Cove and Straitsmouth Island, with the ocean just beyond.
🐉🐉 2 dragons, un espoir 🇯🇵 Je n'avais jamais vu de photos montrant 2 dragons amarrés à la Station spatiale - il faut dire que c'est une configuration assez récente. Celui qui pointe vers la Terre, au dessus, c’est Endeavour, notre Crew Dragon. L’autre, c’est le cargo qui nous a apporté de la glace la semaine dernière - parmi bon nombre d’expériences scientifiques ;) Le cylindre brillant sur la droite est le laboratoire Columbus (coucou @esa 👋). Facile à reconnaitre, mais difficile à photographier depuis l’intérieur de la Station !
Kibo and the two Dragons. Got a rare shot of two Dragons docked to one module, actually I think it might be the first picture like this – although this sight will certainly become more frequent. One is our own crew dragon "Endeavour" (top, pointing at Earth) the other one is Cargo Dragon that bought us the ice cream and much, much, science! Note shiny Columbus on the right. ESA's laboratory is easy to recognise from the outside because it is so shiny –it’s made in Italy 😉, unfortunately not many pictures can be taken of it from outside!

Two in One - These are just two of the waterfalls that make up the Watkins Glen State Park. It is a magnificent place to hike and enjoy the powers of nature. The problem I had was the amount of people and trying to take a photograph without someone in it. You can see more at RandyRobertsPhotography.com
Winter without snow, forest without leaves, water without rain! Only two forget about everything ....
