. . pepper. No, only salt.
Taken in the salt flats and evaporation ponds area of Samut Sakhon, Petchburi.
Thailand is the 26th largest producer of the world's salt, mostly from these evaporation ponds, shallow man-made ponds that assist the production of salt from sea water. Seawater is fed into the ponds and the water is naturally evaporated allowing salt to be harvested. These ponds and the area as a whole provide a resting and feeding ground for many species of waterbirds, including endangered species.
Seawater contains about 3.5% (by weight) dissolved minerals. Sodium chloride is 77% of that amount, or about 2.7% of seawater. The other 0.8% consists chiefly of calcium, magnesium and sulfate ions. As seawater evaporates, its volume decreases and the concentration of sodium chloride in the resulting brine increases. Thus, saltworks generally extract as sodium chloride a little over 2% of the weight of the influent seawater. This means that solar saltworks [salt production by the action of sun and wind on seawater] are often quite extensive in area.
Sea salt production in Thailand is a small-scale industry with several hundred independent producers.

Bell peppers
A wonderful combination of tangy taste and crunchy texture, sweet bell peppers are the Christmas ornaments of the vegetable world with their beautifully shaped glossy exterior that comes in a wide array of vivid colors ranging from green, red, yellow, orange, purple, brown to black. Despite their varied palette, all are the same plant, known scientifically as Capsicum annuum. They are members of the nightshade family, which also includes potatoes, tomatoes and eggplant. Sweet peppers are plump, bell-shaped vegetables featuring either three or four lobes. Green and purple peppers have a slightly bitter flavor, while the red, orange and yellows are sweeter and almost fruity. Paprika can be prepared from red bell peppers (as well as from chili peppers). Bell peppers are not 'hot'. The primary substance that controls "hotness" in peppers is called capsaicin, and it's found in very small amounts in bell peppers. Although peppers are available throughout the year, they are most abundant and tasty during the summer and early fall months.
Please meet the newest members of our family, Pepper and Pickles. I have had an empty tank for awhile, but as you can see it's empty no more. I played around in Photoshop and used the watercolor filter on these.
I love to be creative !
