Grand Coulee Dam

Nearly a mile long. 550 feet high, the Grand Coulee Dam is the fourth largest hydroelectricity producer on the planet. It's also the largest concrete structure in the United States. Again scale on the photos was an issue - it wasn't easy to fit the full dam into the pictures.

Being summer I guess, not much water was flowing...

If you're there at night, expect a laser show which may have something to do with this contraption.
