I was in Utah State from 16th August to 20th August. Starting from Salt Lake City I had the opportunity to travel around the State by road. I visited the Castle Valley Ranch in Emery County where a revolutionary new technology for treating saline/sodic water has been developed and is being used to turn the barren land into productive farmland. Utah State offers a unique rugged beauty and natural resouces. My travels and places visited are marked on the map on the left. I took a series of pictures to capture the vistas and visions of Salt Lake City, Utah State and Castle Valley Ranch which are being posted here. I have the original large format, high
quality images posted here and many more from Utalh. Anyone interested
in high quality images can contact me on my email (given on home page)
and I will be pleased to provide those. |
