Late night arrangements last night saw me setting an alarm for 5:45am to meet a couple of camera club buddies at Bokkom Laan in time for a 6:29 sunrise. Unfortunately a bank of cloud on the horizon ensured sunrise was a non-event, so we took ourselves off to the salt pans. Other than fishing, with our dry summers and low rainfall, salt is the next biggest industry in this area and thousands of tons of salt is produced here annually
@365anne Thank you Anne. I must try and find out why the water is that colour - maybe surrounding vegetation, or perhaps the minerals in hte sea water becoming concentrated? The salt is produced from sea water left to evaporate.
@777margo Thanks Margo. It does look a bit like snow doesn't it (except perhaps to the people that actually get snow!). But I was thinking to myself 'what have I read about exposing for snow so it doesn't look grey"
nice abstract - by which I mean its subject isn't obvious. (I'm flavouring meals with pink Himalayan rock salt at the moment - I'd meant to find out why it's pink - so thanks for reminding me!)
