Farmington Bay benches for two reasons
Sep 26, 2021 11:21:22 #
This set of bench photos at Farmington Bay is posted for two reasons. The first is the portrayal of the benches in their setting as inspired by Photophile (Karin).
The second reason, however, is to illustrate what is happening to the American west. When each of the concrete benches was built, they were waterside. You can see what has happened to the water levels of the Great Salt Lake.

First and foremost Mike, really great pano/bench shots that you have shared with us!
All these shots are excellent in my eyes! It's too close a call to pick winners but that last shot really tells all.
Overgrown with grasses, hardly a drop of water in sight, this last shot in the series really says it all..... We're dry and getting dryer, to alarming levels!
It is hard to look past these benches, with fantastic back drops, and get such an obvious gauge on just how far down the lake has gone!
Provocative post, my good sir!

UTMike, lovely photos however a sad state of affairs illustrating the devastation of the drought conditions occurring in the American West. The warmer climate and dry air accelerate the evaporation of surface water which is then carried away. When the rate of evaporation along with consumption is greater than what can be replenished, drought conditions set in and life that depends on the wetlands suffers greatly.

Great set, Mike. Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do to change the climate. It's gonna do what it's gonna do.

This is not only climate control. Man has caused many of these conditions. We, people waste our water, and 'The Great Reset' is also to blame.
Here in So Cal the Salton Sea has had many talks to release more water into the sea. Just recently I was told the Salton Sea will be emptied because it is loaded with Lithium and 'powers to be' want to mine the Lithium. This may or may not be considered wasting water. Time will tell.
The Salton Sea is not a sea but the largest lake in CA. Originally, 35 miles long and 13 miles wide.
