This is a panorama stitched together with PhotoShop CS3. The original shots were taken from a lookout at the top of the hill climbing away from Lake George. At that time the drought was in full swing (not that it's really broken yet) and the "lake bed" such as it is still had a golden hue. All of the original shots were shot at 75mm, ISO 200, 1/50 or 1/60th of a second at f/22.
