    Very interesting shot…looks like you took people from New York and stuck them in the middle of nowhere!

  • It’s like the UN out there, people from all over the World.

    Great photo! So, that’s not water out there then?

  • No water in this shot. On a rare occasion if there is enough rain you can paddle a kayak across it, before it dries up again.
