ALT The gif alternates between two images of a lake. The first image labeled Sept. 2020, shows a lake that is filled with different shades of green water. There is a light tan colored ring around the edges of the lake. The second image labeled Sept. 2023, shows the same lake but it is mostly a light tan color with only a tiny bit of green near the top middle of the lake. Surrounding the lake is land with different shades of brown.
