If you have ever driven between Arizona and Nevada on your way to or from Las Vegas you are more likely than not familiar with Hoover Dam. Completed in 1936 as part of the original “economic stimulus” package the dam is nothing short of an engineering wonder. It’s size and grandeur make it almost difficult to imagine how it is man made, much less made almost 75 years ago.
This photograph is of the Winged Figures of the Republic bronze statues. They sit on the Nevada side of the dam and were designed by Norwegian artist Oskar J.W. Hansen.
