Photo Non-Contest #161 -- White Part 2

More white.

A wedding in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.

The original monument to commemorate the arrival of settlers in the Great Salt Lake Valley -- white against an October sky (unretouched colors).


Even though Max already did the Salt Flats, I'm adding in a couple.  This is salt foam accumulating on basalt rocks at the Spiral Jetty in the Great Salt Lake.  The water has a pinkish tint because of a strange, salt-loving critter that lives in it.  (The GSL is the second-saltiest body of water in the world, right after the Dead Sea.  It has up to 5 times as much salt as average ocean water.)

Max called these "saltbergs" since they look like mini icebergs from a distance.  This is salt foam hardened into crusts around the basalt rocks in the shallow water of the lake.

So, Max got to my idea of the Salt Flats first.  Sigh.  This is what happens when we live in the same city and like to photograph the same things.
So, I'll try a different subject for Written Inc's theme of white.  And it has to be brief today, since I don't have any more time this morning to hunt down not-Salt Flats white pics.

So, here's a painfully ugly dog stinking up a beautiful antique white bedspread in a shop in Midway, Utah. (Yup, how to keep customers from buying that particular object, for sure.)
But it is white.  Mostly.
