Silver Shores Photo

Photographer’s Note

The Silver Island Mountains are not an island and haven't been for a few thousand years. Graham Peak, at the left, is 7563 feet above sea level. It is a great place to hike and known for an abundance of marine fossils.

The mountains make a nice backdrop to the shallow salt lake which is part of the Bonneville Salt Flats at Wendover.

Canadians may be forgiven for thinking they see ice. It is not ice, but salt deposits at the edge of the very salty lake.

It's an outstanding catch Peter, the colors are so wonderful. The picture is so soft, I like the mirror effect of the water and the clouds in this very blue sky.
Beautiful picture.

Great shot--the soft, blurred affect of the reflection gives this picture a bit of a surreal feel. The clouds are nice, but what really gives them impact is the way they almost imitate the rise and fall of the mountain below them, giving harmony to the picture.

Nice work!
