#155 In The Distance
The drive to Hoover Dam takes thirty minutes - not far. We took advantage of the new learning center and all about building the dam. The recently finished bridge over the Colorado River downstream from the Dam makes driving from Kingman, Arizona to Henderson, Nevada (or vice versa) a lot faster.

Beautifully composed lets the mind wander down the river or wonder what is on the other side of the bridge. You DO look like HAPPY tourists!
ReplyDeleteIsn't that dam amazing? Did you do the Dam tour? I love your happy faces...looks like you both are enjoying your trip!
ReplyDeleteA very impressive photo
ReplyDeletethat's steep, great wiews and the bridge makes a perfect frame on both photos.
ReplyDeleteTerrific images, but as it is Brand new, you could have used the theme "Spic 'N Span"
ReplyDeleteWhat a great picture of you all and a great background too. I went there a few years ago and I am so surprised to see that bridge, amazing pictures.
ReplyDeleteImpressive looking dam and bridge, what a buzz to be there. Love the happy photo of you two together.
ReplyDeleteI saw a Smithsonian Magazine that documented the building of that bridge. Most impressive! Thanks for showing the new structure. It is a modern marvel.
ReplyDeleteWe almost got married in Boulder City but the Justice of the Peace wasn't working there that day, and we were told we had to go back to the county seat (Vegas) to get our license anyway. We did, and since it turned out to be April Fools Day we thought Las Vegas was the appropriate place, 22 years ago!
Magnificent shot--the bridge frames the canyon perfectly! (I like the photo of you and your husband, It's kind of interesting: you and I, who have the same name just spelled differently, look very much alike; and my husband also has a white beard and glasses.)
ReplyDeleteThe last time we were at this spot, the construction was midway without any idea what it would look like when finished. Now I want to go again! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI love the new bridge. I've only seen it in pictures but the next time I'm in Vegas I plan to get out to see it. Love the happy tourists!
ReplyDeleteVery nice composition in the top photo. The photo of you and your husband looks like a nice one of both of you.
ReplyDeleteWe saw the Hoover Dam many years ago. What an amazing structure.
these are two beautiful pictures. What about the bridge, the image offers quasi a paradox: Sometimes you have to take distance to see the things clear ...
ReplyDeleteLove your portrait...a most interesting "tourist" shot.
