The sail of an ancient submarine rises up out of the playa as if surfacing from the lakebed. Or did it sink, to be mostly covered? And what of the crew? Controls & instruments are seemingly not of human scale or design. What happened here? Climb onto the lower deck,& enter mid level or through a hatch door. Inside the sail, use steering station, periscope, and wonder at odd furnishings, gauges, controls. Illusion is the ship crew may not be entirely human or from a different time/dimension. Climbing interior ladder to a hatch, they reach the top deck, and wonderful elevated view of playa. Lounge on lower deck with portholes that show inside the hull to ponder where this vessel came from.
