San Francisco Salt

Electric wires stretch across bright red salt ponds in San Francisco Bay, California. Here, sea water is channelled into large ponds and exits through natural evaporation, leaving the salt behind to be collected. The massive ponds get their vibrant reddish colors from the algae that thrive in the extremely salty water.
