The Bonneville Salt Flats are all that's left of the historic Lake Bonneville, a giant lake rivalling Lake Michigan in size that included the current Great Salt Lake.
Now all that remains is potash salt, which during summer is dry and solid but in winter is covered in a small amount of water.
This was taken in early Spring and the water has yet to dry.
The most famous claim to fame of this area is the Bonneville Speedway, a few miles away where many Land Speed Records have been set.

Created with The Time Machine. There are so many variables to work with on this new drip kit. I am trying to get some samples of shapes and colours. My set-up.

I would be most grateful if you would refrain from inserting images, and/or group invites; thank you
Orford is a small town in Suffolk, England, within the Suffolk Coast and Heaths AONB. Like many Suffolk coastal towns it was of some importance as a port and fishing village in the Middle Ages. It still has a fine mediaeval castle, built to dominate the River Ore. The main geographical feature of the area is Orford Ness, a long, wide shingle spit at the mouth of the Ore. Orford Ness has in the past been used as an airstrip testing facility and in the early 1970s it was the site of a powerful radar station as part of the Cold War defences against low flying attacking aircraft; today it is a nature reserve run by the National Trust. Orford provides the only point of access to the nature reserves of Orford Ness and Havergate Island. Both sites can only be accessed via ferry boat from Orford quay. The Orford Ness ferry runs on selected days between April and October and the Havergate Island ferry on selected Saturdays. The population of Orford greatly increases during the summer months due to its flourishing sailing club. As well as the Castle, Orford's attractions include river cruises, three pubs, a traditional post office which sells fresh bread, a traditional bakery, a smokehouse and a restaurant; the Butley-Orford Oysterage.

Well these could easily be mistaken for my shoes and even I did a double-take when I walked passed this ATM the other day! It seems Dorothy is flat broke!
Taken with my iPhone.
Picked up a few things on my walk today and brought them home, added a couple of things from my garden and laid them out on a slate topped wall.
There was a fascinating exhibit at The San Diego Air & Space Museum about Leonardo Da Vinci when we visited. Here is his model of ball bearings -- made of wood but of course today of metal and an essential part of many things we use and depend on.

I wanted to get the flat iron building centred but for a mini tripod shot that would mean some dangerous playing in traffic.
The couch was conveniently left as was the bed and springs in the back room. Voila! A furnished flat ready for your immediate occupancy! Glass in the boarded up windows is presently on order.Daily inoculated by UV, there is not a speck of Trumpandemic-19 to be found.
At the time, I was returning to an agricultural series on my return from my eDDie sunflower trek. Early, I grabbed my gear immediately and bailed out east on SH #66 toward I-25 but turned north on back road #7 to scout for anything of interest. I grabbed some floral tributes to early morning while there. On my way to sunflower overload, I spotted a few items of rural interest and decided to return on the same route at a sane speed. I found captures that interested me as long as I had plenty of time to poke. Now I feel that I should have been even pokier while managing to avoid the pokey at cruising speed.
I was blasted by sunflowers before but we had a hazy sky due to some degree of moisture and a large load of "fake" smoke from California and Colorado wildfires. I heard that is no smoke from wildfires in California because der Leader has decried "global warming" as fake news. It must be something else entirely but boy is it thick. Damn, it's really hot even this early in the morning. It was early in the day but it was starting to slug me down. It was smart to bring my Propel hydration.
Although a plain shot, this old derelict shack was more poorly built than others but has yet to tumble and I love this old exterior wood grain and its patina on the humble house that held against the prairie winds in its past. The shack has accumulated old farming implements and other collected detritus outside. It looks like the California smog is moving on east for the edification of Kansan global warming hoaxers. They await the Sturgis flu... another week to go!
After several shots, I am now on my way back to highway #66 and to Logmont before it gets really hot and I empty the rest of my hydration. Yesterday was another hoax warming bummer and we pray for September relief until the fake global warming ramps up worse next summer. Real global warming reared its head this August with 2 days below normal, one normal and the rest above. That means we can spend next year under AC fueled by fossils while waiting for the END and the end of the first Trumpandemic surge in the US. I suppose that you could get cheap boarding in this rural shack but it is reserved for migrant labor. It may no longer have any utilities connected - or heating. That is not the problem this summer as is sleeping. The entire property will eventually be razed for planting a new corn field. This is another of the captures I snapped east of the city limits which extend ever further. Ahhh well, this is another leftover glimpse of the old Colorado west. Boarding-wise, you could get a bit nippy in the winter.
This became one of my most tangled edits using layers and one reversal of an Alpha layer. I had to change my normal layers order. It became a major time drain until I finished.

Mesquite Flat Dunes in Death Valley National Park are made up of tiny grains of quartz and feldspar that form sinuous sculptures, particularly at sunset when the low light casts shadows on the rippled sand.

From the Don Hoi Lot series.. This photo depicts the salt flat environment as we saw it that Saturday morning... it is the continuation of my Flickr Journey full of Magical moments that I had the good fortune to experience with Grantthai. This one was taken from the road side walking to tone of the embankments It was taken near the end of our morning trek :-)
This is a virtually but not.. out of the box HDR-LSD blended.. to suit my vintage feel... It is the way we lived it or very close to it.. that now infamous Saturday morning when we were expecting nothing much..
A Flickr moment simply happened..and we captured some truly magical images during that morning.
From the magical sunrise of Don Hoi Lot to the mythical Floating market that we all know about and the salt flats.... We lived one outstanding moment I will remember for years to come :-)..
We were realllll lucky.. Then again we were in the grove and mood.. Just one of those days..LOL.
More to come and you will be in for some eye candy believe me .. :-) and all started with our quest of a sunrise found in Don Hoi Lot (ดอนหอยหลอด) - a sandbar off the coast of Samut Songkhram.
Hope you enjoy.... :-)
