23rd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Travel
Salt Mosaic
A lone figure in vivid color stands atop the boundless, cracked white surface of the Salar de Uyuni, Bolivia. The geometric salt patterns stretch endlessly, creating a natural mosaic and emphasizing the immense isolation and scale that this world-famous salt flat offers. The aerial view highlights the surreal, pristine landscape—a place that seems to belong to another planet, defined by sharp contrasts and infinite horizons.
