Today we explored Great Salt Lake and Antelope Island State Parks.

There’s something odd about this furniture abandoned on the shallow shore of the Great Salt Lake.

A worn beige upholstered loveseat sits alone at the center of a large dark circular patch on a vast white salt flat, under a deep blue sky dotted with wispy clouds, with distant mountains along the horizon.

Later we drove to Antelope Island.

A calm, mirror-like stretch of the Great Salt Lake reflecting a distant range of snow-capped mountains under a bright blue sky with wispy clouds, seen from a foreground shoreline covered in dry grass, sagebrush, and pale salt-crusted soil.

A rusted white and yellow metal gate in the foreground blocks a dirt earthen dike or causeway stretching straight toward distant snow-capped mountains across a flat, dry landscape, with a narrow channel of water on the left and dry grassland under a deep blue sky with wispy clouds.
