This sunset photo was taken from the deck of The Oasis Restaurant on 03/02/2007 overlooking Lake Travis, about 10 miles west of Austin, TX. At that time, the water level was near historic lows, due to the Texas drought of 2006. With the water level down nearly 30 feet below normal, the Sometimes Islands become significant in size. They are named the Sometimes Islands, because they have been rarely been seen since the lake was formed by the completion of Mansfield Dam in 1941. Mansfield Dam is seen in the lower left corner of this photograph.
