Nice shot!A glimpse of what the mighty river looked like before the creation of Glen Canyon Plug and the Lake Foul National Evaporation Pond.

Re: Nice shot!Yes. I would have loved to see the river before that mess of a dam was installed. Regarding the supposed water shortage here in the Southwest, I think it's particularly interesting that the annual evaporative losses of that environmental disaster -- even at its reduced surface area -- are more than Southern Nevada's entire annual allotment of 300,000 acre-feet. It's definitely worth destroying a beautiful canyon to get hydroelectric power so grown-adult idiots can leave the lights on in their offices all night.

Re: Nice shot!Agreed! I take it you must be a supporter of Glen Canyon Institute.
