Lake Mead is the largest man-made lake and reservoir in the United States. It is located on the Colorado River about 30 miles (48 km) southeast of Las Vegas, Nevada, in the states of Nevada and Arizona. Formed by water impounded by Hoover Dam, it extends 110 mi (180 km) behind the dam, holding approximately 28.5 million acre feet (35 km³) of water. The water held in Lake Mead is released to communities in Southern California[1] and Nevada, via aqueducts.

So, which of those boats is yours? lol. I have been there several times and the sheer size is amazing. You picture is amazing too. I like the composition and the colors. The browns and blues, dominate their halves nicely.
