About this subject

A large flock of sheep is being driven across the top of Grand Coulee Dam, with water spilling over the dam on the right and a reservoir behind on the left. A lone herder walks at the front of the flock. The dam and surrounding rocky landscape are visible under a partly cloudy sky.
