Lake Powell shoreline

Lake Powell, stretching across the border between Arizona and Utah, is an artificial lake on the Colorado River created by the Glen Canyon Dam. The contrast between the reddish-brown rock face and the deep blue lake surface creates a fantastical oasis appearing in the desert. This photograph captures the tranquility of the lakeside, bathed in the gentle light just before dusk.

Lonely Lake Shore ― Bathed in soft sunlight

As the sun begins to dip toward the west in the afternoon, the wind ceases and the lake surface grows still as a mirror. The simple composition of water, rock, and sky accentuates the mystique of this lake nestled in the desert.

A peaceful time on the lake

As the sun begins to set and pale clouds spread across the sky, Lake Powell is enveloped in silence. The contrast between the rugged rock walls and the calm water surface gives a sense of the unique passage of time at this lake.
