Searles Lake Basin, California.
The dry Searles Lake basin features unique rock formations known as the Trona Pinnacles, which dot the landscape with more than 500 tufa spires. The pinnacles vary in size and shape, some short, some very tall; rising as much as 140 feet from the basin floor. This has made them a destination for the film production companies who’ve used in such films as Lost in Space, Planet of the Apes, to name a few. However, on this afternoon they caught the attention of my viewfinder as I chased the Searles interchange train heading for its namesake.
