Hoover Dam, Monument

Sorry, no clever attempt at a title for this one.

My family and I headed West this past weekend for a wedding at the Grand Canyon. We flew into Vegas and then drove over to Williams, AZ. On the way, we stopped at the Hoover Dam.

It is absolutely amazing. These are a couple of the panoramics I put together from several images (6-18 depending on which view).

These were all shot handheld (it was too hot to carry much more than that and drag the boys around). The Photo Merge in CS3 is just too cool. I basically took the images right out of the camera and ran them through Photo Merge. The monument image does have some slight transformation on it to correct the perspective.
