I’ve recently been spending some time going through old images, processing images that for one reason or another I haven’t ever looked at in detail, discarding images, and generally conducting some house-cleaning in my Lightroom Archive. This is an image that from the day I took it, I knew would continue to be one of my favorites. It’s from a trip I took around Bolivia’s Altiplano. This was the first morning of the 5 day land-cruiser journey at the Salar de Uyuni, just after sunrise. These are piles of salt piled above the water line to dry and wait for later harvest. The water, was almost perfectly calm, and only a few inches deep which made the whole salar a shallow mirror pond. It’s a lifeless, flat, open, salt flat, and absolutely stunning for photography. I suspect there aren’t many places that can be described that way.
