On the sort-of flooded Black Rock Playa (i.e., dry lake bed), Black Rock Desert, Nevada. This is more-or-less the area where the Burning Man counterculture festival is held around Labor Day (1st Monday in September, for those who may not know). Due to the very wet winter, the playa has been flooded to make an extremely shallow lake ("30 miles long and 3 inches deep," in the traditional joke), and it will be interesting to see if it dries out enough to hold the festival by September. The mountain across the playa on the left is Trego Mtn, a local landmark.
