During the early days of my South Bay photography, Cargill’s Newark salt plant and its surrounding crystallizer beds appeared on my map as terra incognita. From the beginning, I wanted to photograph Cargill’s facility, both for its colorful nature and its role as the last truly active salt plant in the Bay Area. The plant, originating as Arden Salt Works #2 in the 1920s, has long provided the distinctive sight of stacked salt on the edge of the former wetlands. In the current day, an annual harvest of around 500,000 tons is added to the twin mounds of salt that are 500 feet long and 75 feet high. It is a striking landmark.
In 2010, after several years of discussion, I was able to secure Cargill’s permission for five sessions to photograph their property under supervision. This session involved a trip out to a recently harvested crystallizer bed, where laser-guided levelling equipment was preparing the bed for the next round of brine and salt precipitation. The crystallizer beds have a floor of unharvested salt that separated the brine from bay mud below and provides a structural surface for the balloon-tired dump trucks using in hauling the harvest to the washhouse. Some of the images in this set show the activity of bed levelling while others convey my intoxication with the colors and textures of the place.
I took these documentary photographs with the permission and supervision of Cargill. Kite flying is prohibited over Cargill-controlled lands without their permission.

Water levels are exceptionally low in this shot. You can see two distinct water lines - normal low water and spring high water. During spring high water, the entire gorge is filled with the stream.

We found this one under a log. I picked it up to avoid injuring it when I rolled the log back into place.
Another lovely find, towards the end of a great afternoon. Many thanks from me and the dogs to Joy and Graham who are always happy to share their knowledge of the Levels.

An idea for stabilizing a ladder to use as a 40' pushup mast base. See previous photo for full ladder mast base concept. Holes in the bar and ladder rungs are for vertical leveling of the mast.

These engravings on the wall here show the different heights the river crested to from major floods in the past. My best guess is the camera itself is about 10 feet above the current river level to take this photo. The sign marking the 1974 flood must be 20-22 feet above the current river level. (Thats an estimate, whish I knew for sure)

A 24 metre natural mound in the Somerset Levels, UK. Probably used as a Norman motte with a terraced track spiralling around the hill. A 15th century church was used by Royalist troops during the English Civil War. Rebuilding of the church started in 1793, but due to shortage of money was abandoned, leaving the ruins we see today. If sea levels rise, the mump could once again become a refuge: the surrounding drained Levels are up to 6 metres below the high tide in the neighbouring Bristol Channel. Both the words "burrow" and "mump" mean hill, so it must have made a big impression on the locals!
