About this postcard

A sunset view across the Great Salt Lake, with the dark, flat-topped mass of Black Rock silhouetted against a red and orange sky. Its reflection streaks the blue water, and dark rocks in the lower left frame the foreground. Black Rock is a dark outcrop on the southern shore of the Great Salt Lake, near the historic Saltair resort. The lake is the largest natural lake west of the Mississippi River and is known for its high salinity and shallow, mirror-like surface.
