Hoover Dam Bridge

North America-United States of America-Arizona-Hoover Dam Delighted to have visited this on the tour to the Grand Canyon . It is one of those famous bridges , known throughout the world. Very impressive. 

I could not find a postbox anywhere near here, so it went via New York. The stamp in the middle is more impressive then it looks, as it is embossed.
