The Descending Spiral

Rest assured, this remarkable structure was not created by extraterrestrials or left to chance. American artist Robert Smithson is the creative genius behind this mesmerizing earthwork, Spiral Jetty, crafted in April 1970. 

This drone image provides a stunning view of the artwork situated on the beach where it was constructed. Even without the spiral, the image is captivating due to the interplay of land, water, and sky. The artwork becomes visible only when water levels recede below 4,195 feet.
