The more popular lake here in Oklahoma City is Lake Hefner and it's so low, more so than I've seen in years. This was about 1/4 mile from where the water is usually at and about 10 feet below the stained water line on the rocks around the shore. I saw people walking along out here and came out to see what I could see.

There was a beautiful thunderstorm coming in as I was taking some photos and it made for a gorgeous sunset. Lots of trash and dead fish everywhere though :(

Sweet photo. I actually find the dark right side a bit distracting, but nonetheless a super photo.
