Default Man, that's a lot of Concrete!
Enough to pave a two lane road from San Fransisco to New York! The Hoover Dam! ( originally named Boulder Dam)There are 4,360,000 cubic yards of concrete in the dam, powerplant and appurtenant works.

Beautiful shots! It is really amazing to see in person, to look from one side to the other.
How did you get this angle?

Wow, great photos! Love the perspective, detail and color. My husband has been to the Hoover Dam a couple of times and said it's just unbelievably impressive to see in real life.
