The flat part will have water in it, in Winter. Deep, blue sparkling water.
But no, Glen and I don't like walking around the shoreline even when there's water in it. The first time we went, because I wanted to check out what mootch land was like when things lived on top of it still - I hadn't told Glen, and he asked to go home pretty early. 'Place feels weird, I don't like it, lets leave.'
When you consider we had this amazing lake, white shores, bushland... only a five minute drive from us for years - we only visited once. I have no desire to spend huge chunks of time there.
It'll be filled with water in a few months time. I've always liked dry river and lake beds as a site of photography in general. Dried river beds here get so many spiders.
The sky over Vegas used to be that bright electric blue... about 20 years ago. Now it's the dusty faded denim of particulate pollution.
We get some days where the haze is bad - especially bushfire season where the haze can stick around for a while, but thankfully we still get these cherished big skies. I'm a big sky person too, most of my landscape photography is 3/4 sky. Lol.
Nope, our skies are pretty much that blue most of the time. Western Australia is known for having the bluest skies, and some of the clearest in the world. Just one of the benefits of living in this beautiful country.
Gah, I'm not feeling anything through the picture. Must be something you actually have to be at to feel.
Yeah very possibly. I mean to me, it's just a 'lake without water in it.' It's the feeling I get when I'm there that makes the difference. Glen and I both felt it at the same time, the switch-over.
But it's considered a tourist location, you know, because it's pretty. It just never gets any tourists, or when it does, they tend not to stay long, and don't go back.
Lol, that's normal though - that's what a lot of our lakes do, especially now that the groundwater table is lower than ever (we get our fresh-water from the Gnangara Mound).

I haven't seen skies that color since I lived in Colorado. And I'm not sure they were even quite /that/ intense.

It's nice living in a tourist location! :)

Do you use a polarized filter on your camera to get that lovely sky blue?
