Flood vs. Drought: Echo Bay, Lake Mead, Nevada

Flood vs. Drought:  Echo Bay, Lake Mead, Nevada
Top photo is from July 1983, during the record high lake level; bottom photo is during the current drought (July 2010). Note that the palm trees that were flooded, some up to their fronds, in 1983 not only survived but have grown a lot in the intervening 27 years (outlined).

Here's a link to the top photo alone:
Echo Bay, flood of 1983
with some more information.

Thanks, everyone! Yeah, Ann, at The Other Place there were several "rephotography" groups, but the only one I've found here seems pretty moribund.
