Top photo is from July 1983, during the record high lake level; bottom photo is during the current drought (July 2010). Note that the palm trees that were flooded, some up to their fronds, in 1983 not only survived but have grown a lot in the intervening 27 years (outlined). Here's a link to the top photo alone: Echo Bay, flood of 1983 with some more information.
