Description
One from the archives of my 2010 Namibia trip. This was shot just outside Walvis Bay on the west coast of Namibia. These salt "pools" are quite common and on the other side of the dune is an actually Salt Works. I just like the color and texture contrasts.
Thank you for popping in and your very welcome comments and favs on my last upload "Not just a Rose".

What an impressing photo and landscape, Carin. Fantastic are the different textures on this image. The contrast in it, I love it, and it's also a very clear shot.
what a WONDERFUL landscape!!!!!! FANTASTIC picture!!!!!
Amazing capture Carin. God Bless.
Desolate and beautiful. 23C in your pool, eh? Mmm, if only I travelled.
A wonderful composition!!
What a fantastic view over such a strange and beautiful landscape. Wonderful capture.
Very cool shot and compo!
Wonderful picture , Carin !
wonderful view over the salt and dune !!excellent capture !!
Harsh but beautiful. I can't get enough of your trip to Namibia, hope you have more to share!
Splendid shot! :)
Very stark scene - but beautiful as well. Nice shot.
Very nice. It would have also been an interesting POV to have moved left, reveling more salty foreground and a little less sky. A fascinating landscape captured well.
GORGEOUS IMAGE! GREAT SHOT!
What a spectacular landscape! I remember your shot of the salt works. That must be a fascinating place to visit. Your treatment of the light here is totally impressive. Gorgeous photo!
OMG, what I thought at first was an ocean of quicksilver turned out to be an ocean of salt pools, in this stunning landscape scene, Carin! Fabulous contrast between the salt pools, the distant hills, and the sky, young lady.
Love it at the zoom...the sand looks so fine. Fine composition.
very cool photo, Carin
like the colors & texture contrasts as well AND the composition!!! must have been hot & eh salty, but it looks appealing! the salt of the earth... essence of life! :-D
It appears to the viewer (moi) just like a Mirage, thinking of an Oasis of water, which could be useful after a very long camel-ride ... ah, one can dream! a very appealing composition, Carin BB
With almost no features for reference, it is hard to judge distances in a landscape such as this. Those dunes look so far off. Superb capture communicating an enormous feeling of space.
Andrew - thanks for your excellent comment and I totally agree with you. The problem that I was facing is that the 'road' is just very narrow path between these salt pans and if I moved any more to my left I would have been in the pan. Although it looks sturdy, it is actually a marsh and if you step on it, you would sink down in the yuk.... LOL... and that is not recommended... But I definitely agree that it would have been a much better pov!
Excellent and very interesting shot. What an impressive landscape and view.
Beautiful image and perfect light.
Splendid view, great shot!
Impressive shot and what must surly be, a very unusual sight! Great shot Carin, good post! Rob
Beautiful image. Superb composition.
Great view!
this is overall just a wonderful shot. One of these I'll make it across...its on my bucket list.
It is a lovely scene and capture, Carin; I also like the lines and textures. Composition gets an A+!
