Lake Mead

I'll start this off by being blunt: I hate the desert.  I find it to be ugly, uninspiring, washed out and, of course, hot.  But still, I was starting to go stir-crazy here in the city and I knew I had to get out. 

Since just going out into the desert to take pictures wasn't very inspiring, I decided to pick up some camera toys I've been eyeing for some time.  Neither of the places I stopped had the cable release I wanted, but I did get a polarizing filter!

Of course, since I got the filter, it wasn't a sunny day.  Still, the filter's pretty cool!

So I drove out to Lake Mead to snap a few shots.

I wasn't very impressed with the part of Lake Mead I saw.  Next time I'll go the other way around.

Still, some of the pictures came out pretty good!
