19th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Dali's atelier

Salar de Uyuni is the world’s largest Salt Lake on the planet with more than 10,500 km² and a depth of 130 meters. It is breath taking to be in the middle of it where blue and white are the only colors to be seen during the day. But when the sun goes down, the palate of delicate tones of yellow, magentas and red is just outstanding. The all place reminds me so much of Salvador Dali’s paintings.
