Walking Across the Uyuni Salts in Southern Boliva : Walking in the clouds, Uyuni Salt Flats Bolivia
The Bolivian salt flats in Uyuni; are a 12,000 square km of bright white expanse. In the summer though it rains enough that they are covered in water, sometimes more than a meter. It makes for an incredible reflection.
At one of the many stops on our 4x4 tour across the Salt Flats I managed to escape from the horde of tourists and capture this photo. I have no idea who this woman is or where she came from. She seemingly appeared from nowhere only allowing me the opportunity for just one shot; I lined it up and took the perfect photo of her just before she disappeared behind the crowd.
This is one of my favorite photos, it gives you a glimpse of the incredible beauty of the place.
This photo will be appearing at the Smithsonian Institute in Washington DC from July 2009 - January 2010
