Natural Cycles is an annual exhibition where a few artists are selected to create an installation with materials found in the park and these installations are allowed to stay up until they naturally fall apart. It's similar to what we do while at Raquette Lake and it was cool to see what others have done. This is where I found the image and this is a link to the website of the organization that sponsors the event.
"Robert Smithson's monumental earthwork Spiral Jetty (1970) is located on the Great Salt Lake in Utah. Using black basalt rocks and earth from the site, the artist created a coil 1,500 feet long and 15 feet wide that stretches out counter-clockwise into the translucent red water. Spiral Jetty was acquired by Dia Art Foundation as a gift from the Estate of the artist in 1999."More info at: http://www.diaart.org/sites/main/spiraljetty
