Description

This is one of the two gigantic bronze statues at the Hoover Dam. They express "the immutable calm of intellectual resolution, and the enormous power of trained physical strength, equally enthroned in placid triumph of scientific accomplishment."

The shot is great but why does Republican art have to be so ugly everywhere?

How could I miss this? Fantastic compo and POV! Love the "linework" and those colours from dark to brown to green and ending up with a wonderful blue f&j sky!
