A deceptive view of the lake

Bonneville Speedway (Wendover, Utah)

This is an oblique view of the temporary lake on the salt flats. The water is about four inches (10cm)
deep, lying atop a pinkish layer of salt and dirt. The white spots are very thin patches of what
appeared to be salt, floating on the water; those patches cast dark shadows on the pink surface below.
It is challenging but possible to match some patches with their shadows: the light is coming from
the upper right. The red line at right is a rusting metal rod about one foot (30cm) long.
