Milky with Clouds - a photo on Flickriver

Milky with Clouds

            This was really just a quick shot to show Marissa what beauty was hiding right above her head!  ;-)  This is one of the reasons that I love photography so much!

This shot was taken on the Colorado River, below Hoover Dam at the site of Nelson's Landing.  The Ghost Town of Nelson is located several miles up Eldorado Canyon from here.  

Nelson's Landing was a small village and boat launch area that was distroyed by a flash flood in 1974.  Five channels converge at this point and right after a strong downpour in this region, the runoff converged on the town all at once.  The entire town was swept into the Colorado River and 9 people lost their lives.  The wall of water was reported to be about 40 feet or 12 meters high!
