Have you ever been to "Lake Mead" in Nevada?
If you have ever been to Lake Mead in Nevada only 30 minutes from Las Vegas you will be able to relate to this post. And if you never have been to Lake Mead it is a (Must See), I was there Sunday afternoon taking some photographs and it was about 80 degrees out by the lake and it was beautiful.
Here are some stats on Lake Mead below and several photographs I took, I will be posting another story with some very unusual photographs I captured while experimenting with my camera.
Encompassing 1.5 million acres, Lake Mead National Recreation Area features two large reservoirs, Lake Mead and Lake Mohave. Lake Mead, the larger of the two lakes, covers approximately 247 square miles and boasts 550 miles of shoreline.
Attracting nearly eight million visitors annually, Lake Mead is a popular spot for boating, water-skiing, swimming, and fishing. Its surrounding desert is home to rock formations and diverse flora and fauna, which reward hikers and photographers.
Originally called Boulder Dam Recreation Area, the park's name honors Dr. Elwood Mead, the U.S. Reclamation Commissioner between 1924 and 1936. The Alan Bible Visitor Center, located four miles east of Boulder City, provides visitors pertinent information about the recreation area. It also displays interactive, hands-on exhibits that help visitors discover the Mojave Desert.
Located approximately 30 miles southeast of Las Vegas, the recreation area boasts eight marinas, which offer boat and house boat rentals. The park is also home to eight campgrounds and five RV campgrounds with hookups.
Operating Hours & Seasons:
Open year round, 24 hours a day. The visitor center is open daily, 8:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. Admission: $5 per vehicle

These photographs were taken when the sun was setting and if you look real close you can see a couple figures of people and look how small they are compared to a very, very small part of Lake Mead.

Lake Mead is so big and beautiful that it is a photographers haven and you could go down to Lake Mead day after day, week end after week end and never run out of different scenes to photograph.
