These images are all so beautiful and so full of color. But living in the SW, and at one point the Sonoran desert these scenes just dont exist. But I've already shared my sunset image of the Great Salt Lake, so I'll share an image of whats known as Horseshoe Lake north of Phoenix.

After the sun dipped behind the clouds. Great Salt Lake.

Wow - that's almost completely dry with just the channel of the Verde showing water. I grew up in Phoenix and have seen the lake completely covering the lighter colored flats in this image on a number of occasions back in the 60's.

I've never seen this lake with any more water than what's in this image. The monsoons are mostly nonsoons in PHX now, which makes me sad.

If you look up to the left of the river bend in your scene there is a tongue of land sticking out. That's how deep the water used to be. We used to launch a boat to fish for bass along inlets like that one.
