Description

Arizona photographer Gary Ladd celebrates the different facets of Glen Canyon’s Lake Powell — both the brimming lake itself and the quiet, trickling side canyon waters — on this selection of his work. Ninety-six side canyons twist into the main channel of Lake Powell, into what used to be once the main artery of the Colorado River through Glen Canyon. Each and every is unique, with names reflecting early explorers’ impressions: Cathedral, Music Temple, Forbidding, Forgotten, Labyrinth. Lake travelers nowadays, visiting a vastly altered system of canyons from those first sighted by early river runners, continuously reflect on environmental questions and consequences surrounding society’s reshaping of the wildlife.Lake Powell encompasses only thirteen percent of still in large part pristine Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. As visitors increase, so do impacts at the delicate desert ecosystem. Glen Canyon’s Lake Powell now challenges us with an important task: the wise care of both the lake and its incomparable surroundings.
