The photograph is square and the top one-third is a clear blue sky. The bottom two-thirds is desert with a few brown shrubs scattered all over what used to be the lake bottom. There is a small cliff with a row of square brown houses along the edge. They are positioned so that they would have overlooked the lake that once filled the area below. The bottom right of the photo shows the top of the cliff and the ground looks very hard and almost like a large brown rock. There is very little color contrast of the brown desert area, lake bottom and the houses.

The Lake Layla has completely disappeared and has once again returned to the desert it once was. Perhaps with another miracle of nature and a little help from mankind Lake Layla will return.
