EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print captured by Danita Delimont, the upstream face of Glen Canyon Dam stands tall and proud against the backdrop of an extraordinary sight. The water level of Lake Powell has plummeted 145 feet below its normal full-pool capacity on that fateful day in April 2005. As if nature had played a mischievous trick, the lake appears to have drained away, leaving behind a striking "bathtub ring" around its once abundant shores. This image perfectly encapsulates the impact of climate change and drought on our environment. The depleted reservoir serves as a stark reminder that even seemingly endless bodies of water can succumb to thirst when faced with prolonged dry spells. It's as if Mother Nature herself is urging us to take action against global warming and protect our precious resources. The breathtaking landscape surrounding Glen Canyon Dam adds another layer of awe to this photograph. Set amidst the stunning Colorado Plateau in Arizona's Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, it showcases both the beauty and vulnerability of our natural world. So let this photo be a call for all thirsty souls out there – let's quench not only our own thirst but also that of our planet by cherishing every drop and working towards sustainable solutions for future generations!
