Description
Photograph of a view of the Black Canyon Colorado River, during Boulder Dam Construction, [s.d.]. The glass-like water flows down the center of the canyon reflecting the jagged rock on either side. The right canyon wall is stained with large, shadow-like splotches of darkly-colored rock. The rest of the canyon wall shines in the sunlight as the river flows out of view behind them.
