There's a hill at the back!

Poland looks about like that, just 1000 x bigger.

Looks Poland that dry then?

it's called a valley

Believe it or not, that is a mountain in the background, and yes I have climbed to the top of it. It's actually pretty small one. The spring mountains are to the west side of the valley (the picure is looking northeast). And that one has a peak over 10,000 feet.

The peak to the right is Frenchman mountain. On the other side of that mountain is lake mead. The the left over those hills is where they did above ground atomic testing in the 50's.

Trust me, the mojave desert isn't all flat. I've had the misfortune of living and driving accross the eastern portion of the U.S. The entire midewest and east U.S. is flat. yes even the appalachians are just hills. We have bigger mountains in the desert.

This picture was taking from an airplane (not by me- I can't fly a plane). The same plane that took the picture that is on my desktop (see desktop thread). My house is actually further in the back. The forefront is the henderson/green valley area.

Not really. It hardly ever gets that dry, even in the summer.

We do have one desert and it is the size of a small town. Below is a panorama picture of it made last year. Right, not much desert to be seen. What is left now are small dunes - the yellow and white-ish spots between the closer and the farther tree groups.

I've ment a general flatness and mountains on the edge

Forgetting the many rivers, lakes, forests. And, oh right, the sea on the northern border.

[Heresson]

I'm from Silesia. Rivers are sewers, lakes are puddles, and forests are bushes.
I can't see the sea, therefore it does not exist.

That's because god doesn't exist

Me, during a hunting/surveying trip at my Aunt's property.

And me in the Colorado River, during a whitewater trip. (And yes, I am in the water on purpose.)

Shot of the Colorado River.

Shot taken on a mountain whose name I can't remember, at approximately 14,000 feet.



That was a very cold day, and very windy.
