It its beautiful, but do you really need to state the obvious at the end of the introductory sentence and then cap it with cheesy dotdotdots?

The curves the river forms are called ox bows

Eventually, the river will erode through the rock and will become straight. The curves will become ox bow lakes.

The “dotdotdots” are called an Ellipsis.

Sean no they are not, they are called meanders, Ox Bow lakes are formed from meanders but there are none in that picture

It looks like Lake Powell. In any event, it looks like a place I’d like to fish!

Mother nature may have created the canon but it was man that filled it with water. Good or bad?

Oh wow, that is beautiful. But you should check out some of the scenery we have here all over in CO.

Very beautiful scenery but having vacationed in Utah not too long ago, it looks more like Utah.

This is Lake Powell in south eastern Utah, several hundred miles from California, but you were close! (from a planetary perspective)

Yea, I was going to suggest Lake Powell, very nice place.
The bends in the river are called meanders, eventually after enough time they break through the bend and go straight, the remnant meanders that remain are no longer connected to the river and become what is known as an ox box lake.

“ellipsis” (3 full stops)
“ellipses” (plural of “ellipsis)

Mike, an elipse is a mathematical figure.
And guys, stop bitching. Ribbu could have said ‘God created it’ and then the shit would hit the fan. It was asentiment to show their appreciation, don;t go jumping s/he just because of that.
On a more positive note, beautiful picture, shame about the boat… I don’t like living objects in my landscape pictures, or man made things, spoils the serenity. But still, it’s lovely.

Definitely not California. More like the Florida Keys… (sarcasm first, ellipsis second)

It’s just “ellipsis”, not AN ellipsis. Shut up now, and just say whether or not you like the picture.

Photoshopped.

If it were california, it would have condos next to it or a bunch of drunk 909′ers camped out nearby

It is Lake Powell. A sad story really. John Wesley Powell was one of the founders of the USGS. He loved that particular valley and wrote about it extensively. When the river was dammed the resultant lake which destroyed the valley was ironically named after him. I suppose that instead of spending any time finding out about how awesome Powell was (exploring the west with only one arm and founding the USGS and all) everyone will, instead, critisize my use of the word “ironically” or my punctuation. Sad really…

Hey Just Me, refer to comment #25.

“THERE” called dots or is that “they are” called dots? Is that California, I don’t think so. Okay, great photo, and clueless people. Now, clueless people that don’t believe in God. Still a great photo.

This can’t be in the USA. There are no dams, oil derricks, strip mines, pipelines, overhead electrical transmission lines, skyscrapers or logging roads. How can you expect us to believe that there are pristine areas in the USA? This must be in a foreign country or a plastic model.
Maybe it’s on the Moon. As if we ever landed there.

This has got to be on Mars. It is too pristine to be located any where in the US. There are no houses, condos, and mega- malls in sight.

That looks like Southend-On-Sea to me, a crummy little coastal resort about 40 miles east of London, Uk…Checkit out on GoogleEarth and you’ll see what I mean..

Google earth this

I gave the wrong coordinates the last time.

W 110 46 47.65

First, not all of California is tarnished with skyscrapers and mega malls, it looks like Red Rock Canyon to me, which is actually in California. And Please, don’t judge the state on what southern California has created.

For all of you saying there is not any pristine areas in the US, get a clue. Most of this country in the western mid and upper sections all the way to lets say New Mexico, is still pretty untouched for the most part. Try to say that about China. Or any other over populated country. Just because you idiots from other countries see splaces like New York and LA does not mean our entire country is that congested. Get a clue you retards!
