Oasis
I have been fortunate enough to visit The Wave on many occasions. I set out on one trip in hopes of capturing this very scene -- I wanted to find abundant water in the desert, and I was pleasantly greeted with my desire -- deep water. Apparently the water had been here for sufficient time as there was life all around, life that normally doesn't exist in the desert. I sat in this spot for nearly two hours, patiently waiting for the wind to calm down enough to produce the desired reflection. Then the gentle breeze ceased and I pressed the release. Oasis!
