Warmup

The Midlands boys warming up by the 'salt mountain'. The boys had another loss today; 4-3 to North Harbour. They are playing well, but not converting the goal opportunities.
This mountain of salt has been imported and gets refined ready to use in New Zealand.

Wow, that's quite a shot! Fascinating. Hope it doesn't rain, or maybe it doesn't matter?

[Dianne]

@jamibann it poured with rain last night - doesn’t seem to matter as they don’t cover it.

[Mave]

Good shot. Didn't know New Zealand had to import salt.

[Joan Robillard]

I love sports pictures of family members who are participating.

[Wylie]

So frustrating when the team dominates but can't convert - too polite:)

[Caterina]

Nice contrast between the orange of the boys’ uniforms and the white of salt. Fav

[Margo]

why do we import salt?? there is a salt factory in marlborough isnt there?

[Dianne]

@kali66 Grassmere cannot produce enough for the demand.

[kali]

i guess there are only so many places on the coast they could do it, but you would think we could do it!

[Jane Pittenger]

Nice contrasts

[sarah]

Wow - what great contrast and such a Mountain of salt - I love all kinds of salt especially from France

[Dianne]

@kali66 I agree.

[Marnie]

What an interesting shot with those contrasts. Strange you have to import salt, we have heaps of it here. I've learned something new.

[Jane Morley]

Love the contrasting colours. Very clear and crisp. Tell the boys there's always next week!

[haskar]

Great contrast.

[Steve and Pam Winfield]

Great photo I have never seen salt like that:)
