Lake Mead's water level exposes its cream-colored border and two waterway barriers.
An outdoor shot of Lake Mead framed with mountains on both sides. A cream-colored border is level around all the edges of the lake, exposed by the low water level. The dark blue water extends from the bottom left of the image to the middle. The lake has 2 waterway barriers, one white and one orange, segmenting the lake. The water closest to the right mountain has a greenish hue. Both mountain ranges are made up of two different materials. The base is a light beige stone with white and brown bands going horizontally across. A third of the way up the mountain, the material changes to a very dark, earthy brown rock with large outcroppings along the edge. The clear sky above is blue ombre. Daytime.
