DescriptionImage showing steel workers high above the water of the Dnieper River during the early days of construction of the largest hydroelectric station of the day to be built on the river. Four workers are shown fastening into place steel beams joined at interesting angles as ships are viewed in the background. Adding to the dramatic angles and height shown in the photograph is a large crane hook at the top right corner, giving a sense of depth and support to the image.On View
