Yard & Turbine

Photography Now & Then #139

Most of the vegetation is super green right now. If the very warm weather continues without appreciable rain, there may be a lot more brown before the end of summer.

We’ve taken the tour at Glen Canyon Dam twice, first in 2011 and then, again in 2015.  One of the first exhibits you come to on the tour is a huge metal pin-wheel looking device.  It is actually the turbine blade assembly from one of the dam’s generators.  Originally installed in 1965, it was removed in 2008 as part of a 40 million dollar project that replaced all eight turbines.
