Hoover Dam at Dusk

So this photo, which is currently titled Hoover Dam, (I’m a photographer, not a writer) won Best in Show for the Springs Preserve Photo Contest.  I haven’t had a chance to see the whole show yet, but if you get a chance, stop by, take a look at it.  Supporting the Springs Preserve is a good thing, and if you’ve never been there before, it’s a cool place in Vegas.  The show will be running till the beginning of October.

Basic idea behind this event is run a long way, deal with obstacles, and finish off by crawling in the mud.  There are more photos here of the Mad Mud Run, in a slide show format, if you want to see them all now, otherwise they’ll appear over time.
