A couple from my family album.

My mother (L) and her sister and brother, mid-1930's (heart of the Depression)


My mother (R) and her best friend on my grandfather's car in 1945. They were both meter readers for the gas company (they are in uniform).

Something for the turbines at Hoover Dam? The terrain looks about right.

Yep. A penstock. Also, the transmission and distribution lines above are a dead giveaway.

Cool, thanks.. I was thinking the hills and rocks on the right looked familiar, along with the power lines.
