The Bowels of Hoover Dam [Industrial Pictures]
Uploaded: June 30, 2012 03:22:42
1/15s @ f/6.3, ISO 6400, Nikkor 24-70mm f/2.8 @ 24mm. (MT-Technology)
Several hundred steps lead down into the bowels of Hoover Dam and this is only halfway...turn around and you will see the same thing going in the other direction. This staircase goes up and down the entire height of the dam, and prior to OSHA's interference in the '60s, was apparently a single wooden staircase with no landings -- making a fall extremely dangerous.
Exif: F Number: 6.3, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/15 seconds, Flash: did not fire., ISO: 6400, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 24.00 mm, Model: NIKON D700

Terrific capture, but WAY more steps than I'd ever attempt (down is easy, but it would take me two years to get back up)! #10207249
