Vanishing into the haze



There is a scene in Laurence of Arabia where a camel rider is approaching a well, you can hear him coming in the distance but the heat has so distorted the horizon that the rider is virtually invisible until he is nearly to the well. Standing on the beach of the Great Salt Lake with the haze on the horizon, gives you the impression that there is no end to the world. There is certainly no distinct demarcation between water and sky. The way the atmosphere changes is remarkable. Remember to click on the photos to see a larger view.

  1. Utah is such a wonderful and amazing place -- I love it every bit as much as Arizona. Thank you for writing about Salt Lake -- I haven't been there yet.
