Hoover Dam Hydro Electric Photo

Photographer’s Note

Taken deep inside the Hoover Dam hydro electric power station. The rotor* in the fg, is only taken out for inspection, once every 2 years for a day or 2. My timing was perfect! I liked the draped US flag, at the vanishing point, in this shot.

More info here.

* "Rotor: The rotating part of an alternator, generator, dynamo or motor."

Hi Chris,

The point of view is showing the details and colors of the interior of the power station and is also giving perspective to the photo. The picture is clear and sharp. The surrounding light is enhancing the colors. Have a nice day.

Hi Chris!
This dam is famous worldwide and I think it's very interesting to show it in here! I'd also like to see it from its outside! My father worked in a giant hidroelectric power plant til he got retired and I lived a great part of my life nearby! Later I'll insert some pictures in here!
Well, yours has very good technical qualities and I really like seeing it!
TFS - Congratulations!
Best regards,
Neyvan

Hi Chris, It is good to see inside such a huge complex. I recall seeing some in NZ as a child but they are dwarfed by thiese water turbines. TE shows many new things and it is very interesting to see this view. TFS. Murray.
