This part of the Colorado River has been photographed so much that it exists more on Instagram than in the real world. In fact, the real-world Horseshoe Bend is but a projection of the platonic ideal of Horseshoe Bend, which exists on Instagram.

A coal-fired power plant near Page, Arizona. Capacity: 2250MW from three 750MW units that consume 8 million tons of coal per year. It will be closed down as its lease expires in 2019.
