Salt Lake Beauty
The colorful sky, exposed salt structures, and the Great Salt Lake combine for a magical night.
The deep red water is best photographed under cloudy skies. The red comes from halophilic bacteria that thrive in highly saline water.
No reflections on this night as it was very windy; if my tripod or I take a fall in this 25% saline water, anything electronic is dead. The ocean is 3%, this stuff is toxic to electronics.
The Great Salt Lake - GPS is not the exact spot of the shot.
