Photographer’s Note
Another shot of the salt flats of Moray. The salt collecting terraces date back to the Incan empire and are still in use todat. If you have eaten gormet "pink" salt, it came from this site.
The "road" to get down to this location was a switch back barely wide enough to be a goat trail. We hired a taxi driver to take us down to the mines. He drove 40-50 mph the whole way. Now that was a ride!
This image has been sharpened, contrast adjusted, and slightly saturated.

Super cette photo! Le paysage en arrière-plan est somptueux et complète vraiment bien ces vestiges de l'empire Inca. Les couleurs sont belles.

Hallo Hubert!
You show us an incredible view. Here you can see that in former times salt was balanced with gold. what an effort to get this mineral. Thank you for showing this impressive scenery!
Greetings from Germany!
