Hoover Dam - Nevada-Arizona - Colorado River

1/320 @ f8 - 11mm - ISO 200
This was taken off the new bridge that crosses the Colorado now. It took me 45 minutes and over 30 shots to find a place where I could get from the bottom of the road to the top of the mountains with a little sky above and not also get some of the bridge structure in it.
What's really interesting is that while there may be a little stretching of the road due to the 11mm lens, the road is actually enlarged on that corner. I'm not sure why, maybe to allow large construction trucks in there or pull offs or whatever but it looked pretty close to what you see. As you can tell there are actual lanes on the road but the outside one is much larger. I actually was driving up the road and when there was a lull in traffic, did a u-turn with plenty of room for an easy turn-around in the outside lane and I opened the door real quick, jumped out of the van with one leg in and one out and took a quick backward shot.
