    'Reflection Canyon, Six Years Later' - Utah, USA.

    “This place is no longer a secret, but it was not long ago. As one of its earliest visitors back in 2013, I was able to feel its remoteness and solitude in its entirety. No trail, and no people - Things have changed dramatically over the years. There are trails to the canyon, and the place was no longer quiet. Perhaps all places on this planet will end up like this one day.”
