During the trip to Las Vegas, we planned to visit all the nearby tourist destinations. This included ‘the must’ visit to Hoover Dam. Hoover Dam wasn’t something I was really excited about, but wanted to visit for the sake of striking it off from my checklist. The road to the dam from Vegas had few viewpoints on the way. But we had to skip these to reach the dam before sunset. After our quick stop over at the dam, we headed back to Vegas. As we did not spend much time at Hoover Dam, we took the road to Lake Mead viewpoint on our return journey.
To my surprise, this view turned out to be one of the most breathtakingly beautiful views I’ve seen lately! I was totally awestruck and couldn’t stop admiring the beautiful scenery that included shades of blue with patches of brown and white. Blue is something that catches my eye the most and kind of gives me high! 🙂 Simply amazing! The chilly wind of December could not intervene my admiration for this wonder!
The road taken has definitely led me to one of my most memorable views! Hope the photographs do justice to some extent! 🙂

Pretty awesome indeed! We did the dam and I found it pretty fascinating if not beautiful but missed the lake. DUH. So at least I’ve seen photos of it now!
Yes, though I wasn’t much keen on the dam, I really found it fascinating, specially the engineering! The lake view is beautiful! Hope you get to visit next time 🙂 Thank you for your wonderful comment 🙂
That is some serious views and fabulous to hear you had a good time. Where’s the bucket list taking you next 😊
Thank you Gary!! 🙂 Hehe, I don’t know where, I usually don’t plan much ahead. I just go to places with time and opportunity. But yes, my bucket list is a long one! 😀
It might come as a shock to learn my forward planning is about as big as yours then 🙃 Bucket lists are good too. What’s the next one up? 😊
Haven’t thought of any. Will only start planning when long weekends are close by I guess 😂😂
I had a theme idea….A to Z of Stephen King books or characters and places in The Dark Tower. Books I can get apart from the letter X 🤔 What do you think??
Wow!! That sounds fantastic!! You should definitely stick to this 😀 😀 I’m damn sure you can do great justice to this theme 🙂 Also kind of a tribute to your all time favorite 😀
Well for X, I think you’ll be able to relate to either a plot or a character from one of his books, or create one on similar lines may be? But, a very good choice!!! 🙂 🙂
Lol…it’s the time thing that’s the problem…mind you I guess the posts don’t need to be massive, it’s just the amount one after the other that’s hard to contemplate. Especially after the NaNo experience. I was drained after that!!
But yes, my biggest one is to visit Europe! 😄
Some lovely places in Europe…in fact that could be said of most places around the world. Need a bigger bucket 😱
Haha, yes! 🙂
What a view and vivid blue too. Lovely.
