Great Salt Lake, Utah, 2016, by Carolyn Drake. “The north arm of Utah’s Great Salt Lake stopped receiving fresh water over 50 years ago, when the Railroad built a causeway that split it in two, making the upper half incredibly saline, a haven for a red-algae called Dunaliella salina. A couple of months after I was there, a bridge was constructed allowing the water in the upper portion of the lake to mix with the fresher water in the lower lake, where another species of algae tints the water green. It is a picture of man in nature that feels strikingly unnatural; the natural order is askew”. (Photo by Carolyn Drake/Magnum Photos)
