Hoover Dam, once known as Boulder Dam, is a concrete arch-gravity dam in the Black Canyon of the Colorado River, on the border between the US states of Arizona and Nevada. 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. The dam was controversially named after President Herbert Hoover.

I took this shot during my cross country trip from New York to California. My wife flew in and joined my at Las vegas and accompanied with me for the rest of the trip. Her flight was to reach at 11 pm and I had the afternoon to myself with nothing much to do and I decided to check out the Hoover Dam. I managed to get there as the evening sun was lighting up the peaks in the nearby hills. Hope everyone like it...
