Qurator's Photo Friday Competition #80 - Giant mirror

in #qurator5 years ago

DSC_#80.JPG

This photo was taken in februar this year, in the North-Western part of Argentina. The place is Las Salinas Grandes and the model is my son. This is a spectacular salt flat located in a remote corner of Argentina, 3350 m above sea level. It is the third largest salt flat in the world and the largest in Argentina. Covering 525square kilometers and up to half a meter thick. It boasts some of the most spectacular scenery you can imagine. When wet after rain, it becomes a giant mirror creating stunning reflections of the blue sky on the surface of the salt flat, while walking on it. This vast, white desert of salt was once a lake. When the lake dried up, it left the concentration of salt here. The wet season is january – march which is the time when it is flooded. This is the time to visit, if you wish to see the reflections and mirror images on the surface of the flats. Otherwise, the rest of the year it will be dry.
