Great Salt Lake

Mountains jut from the vast smooth mirror of water.
Clouds are darkened and lightened by rays of cold sunlight.
Cattails grow and wave at passerby with golden streamers.
Ducks, cattle, and horses all wander in a fading filter of shadow and light.
Alternating parts of snow and grass unite to a graceful point in the grey sky.
Flaking paint on smokey wood leans in towards inevitable rest in the ground.
