FRIDAY "THE DAM" SKY - HOOVER DAM, NEVADA

This sculpture is a tribune to the highscalers who worked on the canyon walls removing more than one million cubic yards of rock. These men either climbed up ropes or were suspended from anchors sunk in the canyon walls, at times swinging in a pendulum fashion, hundreds of feet above the river.
Transmission lines carry power from the Dam to farms, factories, pumping plants, refineries, to southern Nevada, Arizona and across the Nevada desert to southern California.
BTW, Happy Friday the 13th everyone :)
