The Spiral Jetty, considered to be the central work of American sculptor Robert Smithson, is an earthwork sculpture constructed in 1970.
Built entirely of mud, salt crystals, basalt rocks, earth, and water on the northeastern shore of the Great Salt Lake near Rozel Point in Utah...
I've marked it as something to visit in my next thousand year...
There are many place I want to visit. Thousand years may not be enough.

If You think there is something to do with apologist's thinking scheme, please move this to telestial.

Ludwg, linking as you have done to an image does not subject anyone here to a DMCA takedown request. Posting it here so it shows online may do it.

You are only pointing folks to where it is shown, nothing at all wrong with that.

On posting imges here where they are viewed by one and all you can email the owner or person who posted them and ask permission. MANY will give it with some of those saying 'yes, just post a link to my page' or similar.

Doing the image directing or posting this way keeps everyone in the clear and should cause no problems for anyone.

Give me a few days and I'll fill your inbox with such bliss. This work is my heart and soul. I have been in love with it since 1970. I am a scholar of Smithson's art and this piece is at the very center of my work in landscape studies. I can show it to you in ways you'll not find anywhere else on the web.

You don't know it but you've already seen places close to Rozel Point in other images I've posted before. "My" wild horses live near there. The red waters are from an aerial shoot I did of the work when it first emerged after being underwater for 30 years.

Can't wait to share this with you.

And *fingers crossed* we can visit it in person together some day. I've already taken a handful of those closest to my heart to what is my most sacred of spaces....

The Spiral Jetty was just in the news. Seems the New York foundation that had a twenty year lease on the property failed to renew it and so the State of Utah is reclaiming it. Probably will have make a multi-Stake project out of rearranging the rocks to spell out C-T-R.

The Tribune jumped the gun. The Denver International Airport will likely ask for a retraction, at the very least. They would not have been so involved in stopping drilling in '08 if they were careless about this work. The article in the Trib was riddled with inaccuracies.

I've read about it in Hungarian news.

So, have you also gone to visit his wife's Sun Tunnels near Lucin on the other side of Great Salt Lake?
