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.
A nice skeleton that we found in a Kiehl's since 1851 store in Valencia, anatomically correct replica of a human skeleton, although it is not made with real bones.
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.

Hand carved whale bone sperm whale from French Polynesia for the Smile on Saturday challenge: White.
Though the craftsperson who carved this did not say it was supposed to be a representation of Moby Dick the factious white sperm whale and the main antagonist in Herman Melville's 1851 novel "Moby-Dick," I have named this carving "Moby Dick" and he resides in an honored place in my "cabinet of curiosities." Melville based the character on a real-life albino sperm whale named Mocha Dick. Mocha Dick lived in the southeastern Pacific Ocean in the early 19th century, usually encountered in the waters near Mocha Island, off the central coast of Chile. American explorer and author J. N. Reynolds published an account of the whale in "Mocha Dick, or The White Whale of the Pacific," printed in The Knickerbocker in 1839.
She was every inch the skeletal goddess that had been promised by the bones of her feet.

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.

It's a bit cloudier today so hopefully it'll slow the butterflies down a bit, I'll be heading off now and see what's about. It's great to see so many people coming here from all over the UK. This is Bedruthan steps in Cornwall, a wonderful beach. Bone machine is by Pixies.
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.
Just north of Mendocino on the CA coast a whale washed up on shore (expired ) and the Noyo Center For Marine Science preserved the bones for a display.
