Give it a few more years and this will be the view again.

The intake towers looked like it’s from Sagrada Familia in Barcelona.

Ever since I was a kid and went to Nevada with my dad and we went to see the Hoover Dam those water intake stacks have scared the shit out of me.

I have had probably a dozen nightmares of those things over my life where I've been in the dammed-up lake and have fallen in the water and have been sucked into those things.

As beautiful as that dam and architecture is those stacks are the most ominous looking things to me still. 40 years after I first saw them in-person.
