Bonneville Salt Flats
A blinding-white salt plain and land-speed mecca
A dead-flat sheet of salt stretching to the curve of the earth west of the Great Salt Lake — surreal underfoot, and the fastest piece of ground in the world during Speed Week. After a thin rain it turns into a mirror that doubles the sky.
The shot
The mirror after rain — or Speed Week’s long black tracks.
