Salt & Sky

Is it sand? No it is salt! These are the salt plains in Bolivia where the salt is harvested from the flats. In fact it is possible that some of the salt from here has ended up on your dinner table.
During the dry season each year locals come out onto the plains to harvest the salt, they pile it into the pyramids that you can see to allow it to dry and then it is taken to the local town where it is dried and cleaned before being sold.
During the wet season the entire plain is knee deep in water which as it dries draws more salt from the earth providing the locals with more salt to collect.
