Well you must have guessed I've made this assignment especially for you, since there is no Halloween on your board..

The sea water does count as long as it is not running like a river, tap-water or something like that.

Given the lack of water in the desert, I'll post an older photo. This is one of the very first photos I ever took when I got into photography and was shot with my D80, 18-135 kit lens and tripod at water level. It was a reclaimed water pond in California and the only little bit of trees around in that desert. If I can find some, I'll try and look for some water in this desert too and post another.
