“Bathtub Rings” along the colorado river near Hoover Dam.
The white along the banks,Β from minerals deposited by the river, shows what the level of water used to be. Every year the water level drops even further exposing more of the white mineral deposits. This white line is a reminder as to how much “time” has passed since we took more than we could return to this amazing river that makes its way through the rocky terrain and barren deserts and is the primary source of water and power for the several towns and cities in Nevada and Arizona.

Thanks Sreejith. I have to admit though, my landscape pictures come no where close to the beautiful pictures you click of people you come across.

Great to see your appreciative comments, Sweta π But let me tell you, there is no point in comparing works of different genre π
Have a beautiful day ahead π

I was there last year. Really liked the white stripes. How did you manage to climb so high and take this picture from above?

Oh nice! That pic from the top is taken from a helicopter. When I was there a couple of years back, these rides were just introduced, so they were heavily discounted. π Just got lucky
