Bonneville Salt Flats

My friend Chiara and I went to the Bonneville Salt Flats this weekend and it was a refreshing mini road trip. I'm working on my photography portfolio—due November 30th—and I'd been wanting to check out the Salt Flats since I'd moved to Utah. You know it's real friendship when you timidly suggest leaving at 7 ("if that's not too early!") and they call you a terrible liar and say "I'll see you in the lobby at 6!" It was pitch black and we saw the sun rise on the way there—one of the most beautiful things I've seen since moving here to Utah. I was a little sad to return to civilization. It's deserted out there.  

We made a little video just for fun. You can watch it here!

Also, Pirates of The Caribbean filmed a big scene at these very salt flats. It's really interesting and you can see a behind the scenes video here. Can we all just take a moment and imagine Johnny Depp in Tooele, Utah? I can't even imagine. So funny.

The blurry ones always end up being some of my favorites.

 

Proof I was actually there. Self-timer style. Typical.
