Salt is the first whale to be given a name instead of a number. She has been observed since the mid 70's. She has had 13 calves and many grandchildren and this year the calf's name is Epsom.
Aerial abstract of a salt marsh and what looks to me a bit like a sea horse. (if you use a bit of imagination.
Back on Flickr after a long downtime....computer issues and not disinterest. Thought I'd start out with some shots from my continuing obsession with Owen's Lake from California's Highway 395.
An Australian 'invention' - Chicken salt (even though it contains no chicken whatsoever). A favourite to put on hot chips everywhere.
I was going to crop right down to the centre but the missus (once again) told me if cropped she couldn't really tell it was hot chips the salt was on... so here it is, in all it's uncropped glory!
Vietnamese ladies who work collecting salt in their baskets at the seaside town of Doc Let, Vietnam. They are unloading the salt onto large mounds which will be bundled up and later sold.
Every day is a challenge to stay unstressed . . .
especially to keep the immune system as strong as possible.
We all have our ways . . . and my heart aches for those who are really struggling with this surreal, scary time, worldwide.
Right now a small piece of my salted dark chocolate almond bar helps me stay somewhat balanced. Humor lasts for just so long . . . one moment at a time, one day at a time . . .

A Macro Mondays submission on the topic "Condiment". Most condiments taste much more interesting than they look, but these salt crystals take on a new personality when seen in closeup. They were placed on a shiny teaspoon and placed in sunlight, which reflected off the spoon and shone through the crystals.

En el costado este de la Sierra Nevada encontramos este salto, que nace desde el glaciar y nos entrega este magnífico espectáculo, imagen capturada desde el dron.
In a remote part of Death Valley National Park, salt was once harvested from this lake bed. And the salt has claimed these pier pilings as its own decades after the operation ended. From the last time I had visited here and every time before that, the lake level has dropped probably as our ongoing super drought has continued. The former water levels are preserved in rings of crystalized salt extending out from the wood beams. The beams themselves are tortured wrecks, the result of salt wreaking havoc through capillary action in the wood. The tops of some of the beams are exploded out, as if they were blown apart, but the explosion is slow through the ebb and flow of the salt and water. The pink hue suggested the presence of halophiles -salt loving bacteria that produce a red pigment. The experience here was like walking around the ancient ruins on another planet, with a very otherworldly vibe that I adore in the Death Valley area.
A return to my photos from our holiday in Corfu and this image was taken in the far south from the salt marshes. A lot of bird life but not too visible on this hot sunny morning!
As both a photographer as well as a motorsport enthusiast, the Bonneville Salt Flats, home of the Bonneville Salt Flats International Speedway, have long been a place I wished to visit. That wish finally came true along the epic 7,000 mile road trip I took with my friend from Miami, Florida to Seattle, Washington. I liked the combination of blue sky, white clouds, and the glistening white salt surface all around me. I love the patterns of the salt lines which remind me of cracked earth, and I wanted to showcase a perspective of these patterns for miles, with beautiful mountains lining the perfectly flat horizon. I set up my tripod and aimed the camera down. I used Tilt to ensure as much of the scene as possible would be in focus. I took in the beauty of this place. Then I made my shot. Enjoy: The Bonneville Salt Flats. Like no place on Earth.
Another one of my "scouting" shots, a handheld shot taken prior to actual sunset. All the clouds you see here basically disappeared just before sunset, which seems to happen to me a lot at Death Valley. Is it just me?
I like the contrast of the white salt vs. the dark mountain. The sun was over my right shoulder, behind me, so it was lighting up the face of the mountain with a nice warm glow.
I snapped this shot in Salt Lake City. I was sitting in the back seat of a car and I was completely turned around backwards trying to get this shot. Did I mention that the car was moving? I love how it turned out!

The original forecast had been clear skies, but by the time I arrived in Death Valley National Park things had changed and high clouds moved in. Sunset on Saturday night had been pretty spectacular. Sunrise on Sunday morning was really lovely. There’s really nothing like high clouds that are scattered and not too thick to serve as sunset fuel. As Sunday progressed, a large band of lenticular but thin clouds stayed hovering over Death Valley. In the morning I had scouted out places to go for sunset, focused on water for reflections which I have always been fond of. There was a river-like section that I had planned to go to, but I found myself chasing the band of clouds that had started to drift south. I finally arrived at these salty pools and literally sprinted across the rocky, salty mud to reach them in time for an earlier shot. And then I waited. The cloud recipe was perfect for a fiery explosion of color, and wow did it deliver. This collection of salty pools, surprisingly teeming with life in the form of little green underwater plants and brine loving flies, reflected the fiery show above, interrupting the bumpy mud encrusted with salt crystals. For over an hour they sky put on a show like few others I have experienced in this park and the only sounds were those I made on an evening without wind.
Simply salt, but its extraction has enormous appeal, already the Phoenicians began to extract it into this place and then export it all over the Mediterranean.

Del semplice sale, ma la sua estrazione ha un fascino enorme, già i Fenici iniziarono ad estrarlo in questo luogo per poi esportarlo in tutto il Mediterraneo.
