Salar de Talar is a large salt flat located in the high puna of northern Chilean Andes, at an altitude of 3,950 m. It is part of a series of salt lakes and salt flats located at the foothills of a chain of volcanoes stretching along the eastern side of the much greater Salar de Atacama. The salty flat is bordered on the west by Caichinque and on the east by Cerro Medano, is a mountain with striking shades of grey and brown, which contrast nicely with the sparkling white of the salt flat's surface. On top of that, colourful ponds fringe its shores. Salar de Talar is a part of the Central Andean dry puna ecoregion, which in this zone is characterized by tussock grass vegetation.

A large family of Water Smartweed (Polygonum amphibium) basks in a calm shoreline, sending its pink spires skyward. As the scientific name suggests, it is one of few plants which has adapted to both land and water environments.
As I began to photograph this shell, the tide began to cover it. I love how the water formed around it's shape.
Life lived amidst tension and busyness needs leisure. Leisure that recreates and renews. Leisure should be a time to think new thoughts, not ponder old ills.

On our Sunday morning hike we always pass this lake. We often joke that it must be the most photografed lake in Denmark, because I take dozens of images every week. Today the suface was crystal clear, showing plants from beneath, and the reflections of the sky and clouds from above. Made the image seem a little abstract.
