Besides the beauty, which is at times quite harsh and yet, softens when the sun rises and sets, there is a tranquility, an atmosphere that makes the region, comprising Lake Powell, Glen Canyon Dam, the flow of the one and only river, the Colorado, a very special place. (Also, makes me write long sentences.)

Wah Weap, yes, why weep indeed? It's gorgeous.
Glen Canyon Dam.
At the lake, which appears to be a river to us, one is surrounded by magnificent colors, obviously various shades of blue and hues of reds and yellows. Reflections off the water abound, constantly changing in shape, size and color. Add in the hills extending from water level up and outwards with mountains in the background, and the scenery is complete. We won't even mention the way the river and lake curves, sometimes viciously, creating 'horseshoes' in many places.
Walking in canyons, hiking above and along the lake or kayaking on the surface of the fascinating body of water are all methods of getting close to the essence of the land, experiencing the wonders. Most of all, exploring the land without restrictions, allows one a new adventure on each occasion.
Perhaps a simple way of expressing it may be: The colors and scenery, together with the ability to find one's own path up, over and down the various obstacles makes a person feel content and motivated. It's a time to enjoy old-fashioned fun.
Yep! We like the place...indeed!

Returning from the water after finding our way down. There is no trail, so it becomes quite a scramble especially when finding oneself at a cliff edge and figuring how to get across to the other side or seeking alternatives.
A repeat: Loved this shot.

So many opportunities, so little time.
