[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Hello

To add one more to the series...
A seemingly difficult take off at Laguna Colorada.
The lighter pink sheen in the foreground is a bank of borax (or salt; I'm not really sure) just under the surface of the water. Borax is a substance that can be processed to cosmetics like soap and shampoo for example. Not in laguna Colorada but in other some other lagunas where borax surfaces, you can come across Bolivian workers chopping chunks of borax and carring them to the side in a wheelbarrow. Once in a week or two weeks a truck will come by to take the load to the nearest cities for processing (often more than 150 miles away!).
kind regards.

Joris

I added the original in workshop.

Salut Joris,
Je viens juste de me promener sur ta galerie et waow !... par manque de temps, je ne peux pas aller sur chaque photo, mais elles le méritent.
Pour cette photo, peux-tu nous proposer l'originale en ws ?... car je voudrais voir s'il est possible de proposer un autre recadrage
Bonne journée

Karèle
