| Description | Aerial view of the Hoover Dam construction site, looking upstream on the Colorado River in Black Canyon. The partially finished dam face is covered with concrete pouring forms and other construction equipment. Unfinished penstock openings are seen in the canyon wall on the lower right. A temporary bridge crosses the canyon in the background. Shadows, perhaps from the photographer's vantage point, are seen on the rocks in the lower left. |
