Ernst Tinaja
Ernst Tinaja is quite literally a desert oasis, although swimming or drinking from it would only bring temporary relief from the sun and heat. This view is looking back, showing how the earth caved in on itself and allowed for a dish to form that captures what little rainfal the Chihuahua desert gets. The resulting "oasis" is a green, algae-rich cesspool that traps thirsty deer and other desert wildlife that try their luck at taking a much needed drink.
