Photographer's Note
On the very foreground, you see water splasinhg around from the jeep wheels. The white part until the elongated dark dots is pure salt. Those dark dots are in fact mountains emerging from the horizon. Only the very top part is visible due to the curve of the earth. Starting from there to the top of the picture is the sky. We where crossing Salar de Uyuni, Bolivia, one of the most stunning and marvelous natural landscape I ever been.
PS : auto-contrast
--------------------------------
À l'avant-plan, il y a les gouttes d'eau qui volent tout le tour du Jeep. La partie blanche derrière jusqu'aux rochers noirs n'est que sel pure. Les rochers noirs appartiennent en fait à des montagnes dont on ne voit ici que le somment dû à la courbe de la terre. Le ciel occupe le reste de la photo. Nous traversions le Salar de Uyuni en Bolivie, un des paysages les plus fascinants et étonnants qu'il m'ait été donné de voir.

The photo without the explanation has nothing, but after reading it, it is impressive. If you could have taken it without the water splashes it would have been more clear.

Fantastic! The note makes this photo really amazing. What a high, bright world that is! The motion brings a feeling of exhilaration to it. It makes me smile. :)
