Ribbons of Salt

Our visit to the Great Salt Lake almost didn't happen. When we were in Salt Lake City, we asked a couple locals if they would recommend a stop at the Great Salt Lake. Both said while they had never been themselves, they had heard that it smelled bad and wasn't very scenic. I'm very glad that we didn't listen to them! It was well worth the trip. The landscape was stunning - almost otherworldly - simultaneously barren and beautiful. I am still editing the shots I took there so you may be seeing a few more in the days to come.
It amazes me how people don't know or see the beauty in their own backyards. What a stunning photo of this incredible scenery. Gorgeous. Fav!

That's spectacular. I really love the reflection. It makes it seem otherworldly.

Wonderful shot... dry and wet at the same time. The salt lines are beautiful, as are the reflections. Amazing shot... so glad you didn't listen to the locals.

Beautiful colors and layers!

Oh, very cool. I would love to see that. We have found that local people often don't go see the stuff they drive by every day.

fav Lisa. We're all a bit guilty of ignoring the things close to us and taking them for granted. I love how the water is so glassy and the sky is beautiful.

They obviously weren't photographers! This is a beautiful image of what looks like a striking place.
October 22nd, 2014  
So gorgeous, and yes, so outworldly! It looks so barren and empty, and probably with those recommendations from the locals will remain so!! It is amazing how we don't see the beauty in our own land.... FAV!
