Vidraru Dam, Transylvania

Situated on the picturesque lake Vidraru and impounding the Arges River, this massive dam produces hydroelectricity for the surrounding areas.

Nearby is a statue of the titan Prometheus, who defied the god Zeus and gave fire to humanity.  The symbolism is clear; the builders of this dam have daringly snatched the raw power of the river from the gods for themselves, providing warmth and light to the community.
