Your presentation on lake Steadman is quit impressive. The 3D images
you have posted have virtually removed any previous lingering doubts I
had.

I find the high water level markings very convincing. Apparently this
lake is sometimes much larger than the picture shows, covering what
appears to be mud flats to the bottom and left. What we need to do is
to come up with another picture taken at a different time of the year.
There are obviously level changes that take place, and with the mud
flats off to the left, it would take very little change in water level
to modify this shoreline significantly. It it reached the high water
level it appears it would cover much of the mud flat growing in size
tremendously.

Keep up the good work.
