American Snout butterfly sipping dissolved minerals left by an evaporating mud puddle.
Although found around here in years past, a very uncommon migrant into the area from the south.
A small salt pool that is quickly evaporating. The reddish color is halophilic bacteria that flourishes in high salt environments. When the water is gone, the bacteria will hibernate within the salt.
The Waxing Gibbous Moon is at 89%.
I used a long exposure here to capture the movement in the water as it moves around this wonderful salt formation.

A small tumbleweed stopped from its nomadic life by saltwater.
The Great Salt Lake - GPS is not the exact spot of the shot.
This shot was dependent upon several factors outside of my control:
Water up to the shoreline - Salt equipment placed as I wanted - No Wind - No Clouds
The day after it rained, I made a beeline out to this area to see how things have changed. Friday night, I had water and properly positioned equipment!
Sunrise the following day was 5:58 am with no clouds forecasted.
I left home at 4:15 am and made the 20-minute slush through the mud and water to this point – sadly, there was wind for 2 hours and nothing usable.
Sunday morning: Wash; Repeat & Success!
I choose f11 as I had nothing in the foreground, and everything was at a distance – there was no wind and no need for an ND filter – a pretty straightforward shot. This was captured 50 minutes after sunrise. I took several earlier photos, but in the end, this had the color and light I liked most.
The foreground salt reminds me of popcorn with its texture, and the sunset was fantastic!

No need to comment – just enjoy :-)

I love the salt of the earth,
I love the spice of life,
I love the salt of love,
I love the salt in you.

Over several years I tried unsuccessfully to shoot (not literally) the thousands of migrating Greater Flamingos that frequent the Larnaca lake, the Aliki, from November to end February. Some flamingos may stay longer and even spend the summer here. Their numbers can reach tens of thousands spread over a group of lakes of just over 2.2 sq km total area.
This year there were not so many birds and they kept well away from the edges. In order to protect the delicate ecosystem, wading out into the salt lake is prohibited by patrolling guards who can issue on the spot fines of up to several thousand euros. I stayed well back from the edge.
The Salted Ruins, inspired by the beauty of Sri Lanka, will be opening to Members of Elysion for a summer photography challenge on August 26th!

The famous Hoodoo's, the Salt & Pepper Shakers in Red Canyon as you enter Bryce Canyon in Utah. They look like they could fall over at any moment but they are magnificent and very impressive.
Breathe it in. High tide, pluff mud, thick salt air, breeze whispering through the spartina, clouds reaching high into the sky in preparation for the prescribed late afternoon thunderstorm, and habitations, people, far in the distance. Breathe it in.

Among the most beautiful and distinctive spots in the village of Geraci Siculo, the *Salto dei Ventimiglia* (Ventimiglia’s Leap) deserves special mention.
It offers a breathtaking panoramic view of the eastern valley.
Legend has it that in 1337, Francesco I Ventimiglia—the Count of Geraci—was being pursued by the royal troops of Peter II of Aragon. To avoid capture by the enemy, he allegedly spurred his blindfolded horse to leap into the deep ravine below.
Inaugurated in 2014, this structure is made entirely of glass and steel and weighs approximately two tonnes; it projects several meters out into the open air, extending beyond the edge of the cliff face.
The floor is also made of glass, creating the sensation of walking on air for a few steps.
A thrilling, unmissable experience!

Tra i luoghi più belli e caratteristici del borgo di Geraci Siculo, una menzione particolare è da dedicare al Salto dei Ventimiglia.
Un affaccio panoramico sulla vallata orientale da far perdere il fiato.
La leggenda narra che da questo luogo, nel 1337, Francesco I Ventimiglia, Conte di Geraci, inseguito dalle truppe regie di Pietro II d’Aragona, si sarebbe lanciato con il cavallo bendato precipitando nel profondo dirupo sottostante, pur di non farsi catturare dal nemico.
L’opera, inaugurata nel 2014, totalmente realizzata in vetro e acciaio, dal peso complessivo di circa 20 quintali, si protende nel vuoto per alcuni metri staccandosi dal filo della parete.
Il pavimento è anch’esso di vetro, dando così la sensazione di camminare per pochi passi nel vuoto.
Un’imperdibile esperienza “da brividi”!
A salt bar is typically a soap made with 50-100% of oil weight in salt.
This is a vegan organic Salt Soap.

I just realized that I haven't kept a promise I made a few weeks ago.
And I had promised you the picture of a beautiful historic building that everyone in the city of Lübeck knows, the salt storage. Well, here it is.
It consists of a series of storage buildings built between 1579 (far left) and 1745 (far right). You can see the different architectural styles of the individual parts very well.
Despite the name, not only salt was stored here, but also cloth, grain and wood.
But it all started with salt. This was mainly needed to preserve fish caught in Norway (we're still talking about the 16th century). Pretty impressive.
Soeben habe ich realisiert, dass ich ein Versprechen noch nicht eingelöst habe, was ich vor einigen Wochen gegeben habe.
Und zwar hatte ich Euch noch das Bild eines wunderschönes historischen Gebäudes versprochen, was in Lübeck jeder kennt, den Salzspeicher. Nun, hier ist er.
Er besteht aus einer Reihe von Lagergebäuden, die in der Zeit von 1579 (ganz links) bis 1745 (ganz rechts) erbaut wurden. Man kann sehr gut die unterschiedlichen Baustile der einzelnen Teile erkennen.
Trotz des Namens wurde hier nicht nur Salz gelagert, sondern auch Tuch, Korn oder Holz.
Mit Salz jedoch fing alles an. Dieses wurde hauptsächlich zu konservieren von Fisch benötigt, der in Norwegen gefangen wurde (wir reden immer noch vom 16. Jahrundert). Schon ganz schön beeindruckend.

Salt pans are a common sight in this region, since Tavira is so intertwined with the history of salt. The ancient technology adapted to the landscape of the Ria Formosa turns the salt pans into outdoors chemistry labs. These are an important and humanized environment for several species of birds and microscopic beings. For all these reasons we challenge you to integrate this visit. We guarantee you that you will not look at a crystal of salt the same way.
