I've been flipping through a big, relatively-new book about Saarinen and, while I realize this was not his project, it reminds me of stuff he did. Apparently no one else knows who designed this either though.

Where is this located? I would love to do a photo shoot there!

I don't blame you, Christer. The Bonneville Salt Flats (located in northwestern Utah) is one of the most picturesque places in the world. It's literally impossible to take a bad shot there. Here are more pics from our trip: me, JLT.

Oh, I've been at the Salt Flats, I'm just curious where this shelter is located. In case I get a chance to return I want to make sure I don't miss it like last time.

Thanks for the links, Stephen!

Oh, dum me. I knew that. I think this stop is on the far west end of the flats.

You reminded me of architect Eladio Dieste. He has some very graceful structures similar to these. Unfortunately the only thing like that I can find now is this one and here are some other works.

Excellent site the one you have here, BTW.

You know I was just out that way a couple of weekends ago and thought the exact same thing. I even said to my wife "look at those great mid-century concrete rest stops". The viewing platform on the south side of the Interstate is also really interesting.

I would be interested in knowing more about these structures and how they came about. Seeing them triggered thoughts of Saarinen's TWA terminal.
