Both of Reynolds’ photographs depict the same location: Highway 89 as it descends into Dry Lake, familiar terrain for travelers into Cache Valley. Reynolds retuned to the same spot during different seasons to reveal how the landscape was transformed by the passage of time. He includes the traffic sign as both a framing device and a visual refence, so we can verify that we are in the same place. Reynolds took these photographs in 1960 just the highway was being improved and the historic dirt road through Sardine Canyon was phased out. Highway construction exploded in the late 1950s and 1960s, as did American car culture, and Reynold’s view, as if from a car window, was a very modern take on the American landscape.
