As this immense project nears its completion, take a look at some wonderful photos taken both onsite, around, above and below the Hoover Dam Bypass Bridge. It cannot be said that the golden age of engineering is over when we can still produce projects like this.

Imagine you are an insect caught in a spider web. What exactly will happen to you once the spider comes and, as it were, sits down beside you? It’s not a pretty process, that’s for sure but some amazing macrophotography can make even death a thing of beauty…

By the time sunlight reaches our eyes, most of the blue light has been scattered out. This leaves only light from the red end of the spectrum which travels towards us with little or no scattering. This is why the Sun appears red during sunsets..In dim light, everything appears to be in shades of black and white because the cone cells in our eyes which are responsible for detecting color do not work well in dim light.
