Here are a couple of images from my recent visit to Hoover Dam:

This was taken from about mid-span of the new bridge. I used a super-wideangle 10mm lens on my Sony A100 DSLR.

This shows the water level behind the dam. Note that the white area (below the beige area) on the far Right is the spillway, where the water nearly was when we first visited Hoover Dam back in the early 80's. Note that this was shot using the 10mm lens. It's also a pretty good shot of the new bridge as well.

Weco,

I was at Hoover Dam a couple of weeks ago to see the finished bridge (got to walk across it which makes for a great place to get pictures of Hoover Dam itself). While I was there I noted that Lake Mead was still about where it was 18 months ago, that last time I visited, and considering that it's spring time, you'd think it would be about as high as it was going to get. I would say that it was at least 30 feet below the spillways. When I get home tonight I'll post some photos.
