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.
Thanks for your insights, Gary, I appreciate it.

Great set, Mike. Unfortunately, there is nothing we can do to change the climate. It's gonna do what it's gonna do.
Thanks, Ken, just deal with and not complain.

Nice set Mike although somewhat grim !
Thanks for the kind words, Ron. We are just going to have to learn to live with it and do what we can, instead of always looking for blame.

My point is not to blame, but to point out that we must take conditions into account and do what we can, not just seek someone to blame.

Back in the late 70's or early 80's they were afraid the lake was getting too salty to support life due to drought, one year later they said the salt level was getting too low due to excessive rain.

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.
Comments and suggestions are welcomed.

Great set of images!!! Mike
I remember a few years ago the Great Salt lake was rising to the extent they had to raise or relocate an Interstate highway.

While I have much concern for the drought, what your photographs tells me; that the beautiful view without water is so unimportant there is no maintenance around the benches.

They don't look very useable any more Mike. Sad to see how much water loss there has been.
