Today's post isn't as sexy as yesterday's post but, here is the new dam on the Tempe Town Lake that I mentioned in yesterday's post. A few years ago I posted a photo of the original dam which was an inflatable rubber bladder. That old dam proved to be no match for the wicked Arizona sun and at one time the lake had to be drained because the dam broke. So recently this new and improved dam was put up using much stronger materials that won't whither away as the sun beats down on them.
This new dam looks like it will do the job nicely.

I find the new dam sexy in its own way. ;-)
Definitely more masculine today! I'm even reminded of WWII machine gun stands in the dam fortifications!
To me, this post is MORE sexy. LOL! Seriously, that is a nice dam. The technology looks interesting.
It looks well built.
Your photos encourage me to explore Phoenix area when I am there visiting family. I been to museums, checked out Old Town Scottsdale and now I will go look at a dam. Thank you for your photos
I'm sure this will last a lot longer than the inflatable one, Sharon!
That looks like a good one. I've not seen it so this is interesting.
Quite attractive for a dam
The sculpture just looks like it needs a Phoenix rising from it. The dam does look like it will do the job
That's more like it Sharon 😊
So the damn dam didn't dam the river? The Arizona sun must do a number on a great many building materials.
