LotLotLot (for sale)
Of course, when this town was settled and named Mecca, it was a name with great connotations, with grand visions of a beautiful life beside a thriving inland sea.

But there ARE lots and lots of lots for sale.

several sides of the same coin
Just after sundown, the lights of the geothermal plant glow. And somehow, the surface of the water also glows.
One star lights up the sky and is mirrored by a light on the distant shoreline.
And the dark-blue arc of the approaching night finds its balance with the darkening ground.

Skeleton
Yes, I was very happy when our photography group leader not only drove us past this skeleton of an agriculture building, but then pulled off the road so we could photograph it. And my thanks to everyone else in the group who may not have been quite as giddy as I was, but were too polite to tell me they rather be anyplace else.
