Grand Canyon West - Hoover Dam
Nov 27, 2022 12:30:28 #
At the end of our day visiting Grand Canyon West, we stopped by Hoover Dam on the way back to Las Vegas. The sun was setting, so I skipped the tour of the inside of the dam and took shots as the sun set.
Of course, as in most federal parks, animals have the right of way. While I was in the parking lot waiting for the dam tour participants, local animals set out for an evening stroll. We got past them on the way out, but I do not know how they were handled.
Comments and suggestions are welcome.

Dam good photos, UTMike. Here's hoping much-needed water will find its way there.

Thanks, Gary, the river and lakes around the dam are very low.

Another beautiful set Mike. The "Bath Tub Ring" really shows how low the water is.

Thanks, Jack, Lake Mead looked worse, but I could not get a good shot.

Great set Mike. You did a great job getting detail in the shadows without blowing anything..
