A concrete bucket beside the formwork

A tall, square steel bucket, spattered with concrete, hangs from a cable before the timber formwork of a block, with iron fittings along the boards; to the right lie the stepped tops of blocks already poured, and a dark rock wall rises behind. The dam was cast in hundreds of separate columns, fed by buckets that cableways swung out over the canyon.
