Oh, hey there, what's this, a crack in that damn dam?

Nice! Let the river flow and Glen Canyon reemerge into the sunlight after decades of being hidden under Lake Fowell! 😍

And ya, Lake Fowell is down 165 feet from full pool. See the light colored "bathtub ring" behind the dam?

(Yes, this is a composite image. The photo is from Tuesday. I composited a crack onto the dam. If only...)

Damn the dam!

A sentiment not restricted to this dam.

@elaterite I find this image extremely disturbing.

@mlanger Indeed disturbing, Glen Canyon has properly been called, "America's lost national park." 😉 People who knew the "Glen," before the dam, are (were, most are dead now) unanimous in their praise of the canyon and the crime that it was to inundate it for development in the SW. All said it was the most beautiful place they had ever seen.
