A River Runs Through It





















The Grand Canyon is being deliberately flooded this week in an attempt to renew and balance the ecosystem.  The controversial flooding, which has taken place twice before, in 1996 and 2004, is opposed by some who say that an $80 million research project studying the effects of flooding on the Grand Canyon indicated the net effect will be harmful.

Regardless, it makes for some spectacular photography.
