Shades of the Great Sahara -- This is what nearby Fishing Creek Reservoir looks like after a summer-long drought that is now running into autumn. The tree stumps now visible on the parched bottom of the lake normally are covered with 40 feet of water. What appears to be a rocket-launching tower in the background is only the water control valve, but generally, just the top is visible.
