 Utah’s Great Salt Lake

   Summary Author:  Patrick Wiggins

   As I’m based out of Salt Lake City, Utah, I often fly my small
    Cessna airplane around Utah’s  Great Salt Lake and am always on
   the lookout for scenes that strike my fancy. In this case, it was how
   clouds and  blue sky  reflected off of the surface of the lake
   that on this day appeared to be smooth as glass. The island in the
   distance is  Stansbury Island. Owing to the  low lake level in
   recent years, it’s become more of a peninsula than an island. In the
   foreground are  evaporation ponds used to  extract salt. Photo
