Comments: The salt works were an amazing creative opportunity everyday, always changing - Bonaire. On the southern half of the island it's ultra flat and large pans are flooded with seawater, then left to evaporate in the sun, then bulldozed and moved into huge mounds ready for transport. The salt of Bonaire is unique, the salt crystals that are harvested have an excellent quality. The salt crystals can grow to enormous proportions on Bonaire, as big as apples! Most salt from Bonaire has an industrial destination and a small part reaches the consumer. The way the salt is harvested on Bonaire is called 'sea salt sun dried'. GTPhoto is a full marine agency covering islands, oceans & underwater - worldwide, with Bonaire as an absolute specialty - brilliant light & time. Maximum fine art!
