I've photographed this area many times with great water reflections. The water is long gone leaving the salt base.
The Great Salt Lake is disappearing.
While conservation efforts are underway, it will take a while to see results. The good news is that any substantial rainfall can give me a thin layer of water for future reflections.
70-80% of Utah's water is for agriculture....its tough to grow crops in a desert.
The Great Salt Lake - GPS is not the exact spot of the shot.
Spring still hasn't arrived here, although the snow is finally gone. Yesterday, I went to our nearby community garden to see if anything had popped up, but all I could find was the bones of winter, which has its own kind of beauty.

I prefer winter and fall, when you feel the bone structure of the landscape — the loneliness of it, the dead feeling of winter. Something waits beneath it, the whole story doesn’t show.
-― Andrew Wyeth
I found an old leaf with just his bones showing and decided I would play with it. I hope you like it.
In the words of Shakespeare, "When the hurlyburly's done, When the battle's lost and won ...", winter is a time to return to the essentials. Tune out the Trumpian chaos and appreciate the things that are important.
"The simplicity of Winter has a deep moral. The return of Nature, after such a career of splendor and prodigality, to habits so simple and austere, is not lost either upon the head or the heart. It is the philosopher coming back from the banquet and the wine to a cup of water and a crust of bread." ~ John Burroughs
I had a business partner visit me at work yesterday. We talk about our dogs frequently and so she brought Jasper a new rubber bone. It supposedly gives off a bacon scent when chewed. It was a big hit and great fun. I mean who wouldn't want a purple rubber bone that smells like bacon.

Bare trees reveal intricate patterns and detail on one of the little islands in Princess Point in Hamilton's Royal Botanical Gardens.
Farmland abuts one of the local cemeteries. Each year the crops are rotated between soybean and feed corn. This is the corn year. It's just plain eerie to me seeing cornstalks this close to a burial ground. It was one thing back in June when the little green sprigs seemed harmless enough. But now they are taller than me, and parched, bleached, dead and dry, awaiting harvest. Between now and then, they rustle in the slightest breeze, and sway about. The effect is somewhere between theatrical and primordial terror. I slide up and down the scale depending on my mood, time of day, and the overall feel of the atmosphere. On balance, my imagination tends to tip me over to the dark side more often than not. When that happens, visuals such as this tend to result. Strong reinforcement of the feeling that I'm being observed by blind, but all-seeing eyes.

A late entry for the Lego competition, but couldn’t resist a Halloween crossover!
Was wondering how I could get the skeleton figure to appear to be in the ground when I noticed our chopping board on the drainer which just so happens to have a perfect size hole in it!
All set up and lit in-situ just a few colour tweaks.
