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. ;-)
ReplyDeleteDefinitely more masculine today! I'm even reminded of WWII machine gun stands in the dam fortifications!
ReplyDeleteTo me, this post is MORE sexy. LOL! Seriously, that is a nice dam. The technology looks interesting.
ReplyDeleteIt looks well built.
ReplyDeleteYour 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
ReplyDeleteI'm sure this will last a lot longer than the inflatable one, Sharon!
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a good one. I've not seen it so this is interesting.
ReplyDeleteQuite attractive for a dam
ReplyDeleteThe sculpture just looks like it needs a Phoenix rising from it. The dam does look like it will do the job
ReplyDeleteThat's more like it Sharon 😊
ReplyDeleteSo the damn dam didn't dam the river? The Arizona sun must do a number on a great many building materials.
