The salt flats consist of multiple, shallow, stepped, clay-bottom pools that originate from partitioned off seawater. The shallow pools, with added sunshine, heat, and wind, allow for evaporation of the water resulting in an increase in its salinity. Once the saline level of the water reaches a certain amount, it gets pumped with the Archimede's screw to a higher and shallower pool. Historically, windmills produced the energy to drive the pump, now the pumps have electric motors. Over time, the water gradually progresses through multiple pools.
The salt is harvested annually, in early fall, before the rainy season starts. In Trapani, they still harvest the salt manually both by skimming the surface and scooping it out with buckets. The very fine salt crystals first skimmed off of the surface of the water in July are most valuable and are called fiore di sale. The salt crystals that are manually scooped from the bottom of the pools, later in the season, are composed of larger, coarser crystals. Those are either sold as coarse salt or can be ground down to a finer composition. Historically, windmills were also used to grind the salt.
After it is harvested, the salt is piled alongside the pools to allow for drying. Due to manual harvesting of the salt, as opposed to excavator harvesting, the crystals stay clean and don't need to be further processed or purified. During drying, the salt mounds are covered with terracotta tiles to keep them clean and protect them from rain. The salt is then packaged for sale according to fine and coarse distributions. Any salt that gets dirty is sold as street salt for winter road management.
This configuration of a series of shallow evaporation pools, still in use today, was introduced by the Arabs between the C6th and C9th AD, whereas the Phoenicians first produced salt along Sicily's coast either by boiling seawater trapped in the island's many marshes or by waiting for water to evaporate from solely ONE pool. The Museo del Sale in Trapani is a family-owned and managed salt flat which has been producing salt for many generations. The salt pans, there, date from the 1400s.

I found this worn poster only a few meters from a pagoda near West Lake.
To me, it made a contrast to the timelessness and the mood found in pagodas.
(PS: I am drinking Pepsi while posting this....)

No shortage on training motivation with a big goal like the Transcontinental Race and so much more to ponder and test than just riding. Second week of initial bag testing and choosing aerobars. :)
I also put my musings and first insights into a blog post (in German - torstenfrank.wordpress.com/2017/02/06/tcrno5-vorbereitung...)
--
Es gibt kein Mangel an Trainingsmotivation mit einem so großen Ziel wie dem Transcontinental Race und so viel mehr zu überlegen und testen als einfach nur Rad zu fahren. Zweite Woche des anfänglichen Taschentestens und Auswählen von Lenkeraufsätzen.
Ich habe meine Gedanken und ersten Erkenntnisse in einem Blog Beitrag niedergeschrieben: torstenfrank.wordpress.com/2017/02/06/tcrno5-vorbereitung...
Develop your senses- especially learn how to see. Realize that everything connects to everything else.

adding some old digital photos - first time using my Itorex lens filters back in 2010 with Canon 500D
The autumn colors have pretty much faded away in Fillmore, Indiana, on the St. Louis Line of CSX, but two Union Pacific units add some color to the scene.

Ok, I am paying a zillion Euros per month for this pro account, so I should upload something...,
My first photo shooting in ages. Good, the camera is not a gun, I would have shot a foot or so.
This is my friend's old Commodore Adding Machine. ´from the 1960s. Older than him! And that's how I spend quite a bit of time, nowadays... taking care of old machinery. Just for fun. Not for getting rich ;-)
