Salt collector from a dried-up lake (2009)

Here’s roughly what the process of collecting salt from a dried-up lake looks like: a man in rubber boots walks onto the site (because beneath the layer of salt there’s usually a layer of stinky muck that you can sink into), then he uses a special rake to gather the salt into small piles. After that, he collects it into a sack.
