Salt fields
The salt fields in Oman create a striking, almost abstract landscape, where the ground cracks under the intense heat, revealing natural patterns and textures left behind by evaporated water. The geometric lines and white salt surfaces contrast with the warm tones of the desert sand, forming a raw yet captivating environment. It is a place where nature shows both its harshness and its delicacy, revealing the beauty of the processes that shape the landscape in one of the driest regions of the world.
