Receding Waters of Lake Powell: A Desert Oasis in Transformation
This photograph captures the serene beauty of Lake Powell, a man-made reservoir on the Colorado River, straddling the border between Utah and Arizona. Framed by rugged sandstone formations and deep blue waters, the scene showcases the stark contrast between the vibrant desert landscape and the calm expanse of the lake. Once bustling with activity, the lake's low water levels now reveal intricate rock formations and channels that are typically hidden below the surface. This image offers a glimpse into the changing environment of the Southwest and the fragile beauty of its arid landscapes.
