Spilling Thought: Here’s a spectacular #sunrise over #ReflectionCanyon -- a surreal landscape of the twisting and winding #ColoradoRiver through colorful sandstone cliffs. This amazing photo, captured by Yang Lu, is the grand prize winner of the Share the Experience photo contest, an honor that means his photo appear on the 2017 America the Beautiful public lands pass. To celebrate this announcement, we’re taking over @cbsthismorning today, sharing an exclusive look at the winning @share_the_experience photos. For Yang, photography isn’t just about recreation, it’s also to inspire people to explore these special areas. Yang took this photo during a two-day backpacking trip to Reflection Canyon, which is located in a remote area at #GlenCanyon National Recreation Area in #Utah. “We did not see anybody for two days. There is no trail; we depended on my research,” Yang says of the experience. Yang visited during the winter when the temperature and water levels were low -- thanks to meticulous planning, Yang’s efforts paid off. The curves and those formations -- I have never seen anywhere.” Photo by Yang Lu (http://ift.tt/18oFfjl). #findyourpark #usinterior by usinterior
