The Colors Of Salt Evaporation Ponds
Topic: Arts 7:55 am EDT, Aug 21, 2008

While nature tends to trump humans when it comes to color inspiration, at least in my opinion, when humans put their hands into engineering nature, like in the case of salt evaporation ponds, together, unimaginable colors can be created.

The beautiful colors in these images from Google Earth are created during the process of harvesting salt. The vivid colors, which can range from green to bright red, come from different concentrations of algae.

Google just added satellite view for most of the world. This link is something I found in the north east part of Austrailia. Its an insanely huge structure, and Google doesn't have any more zoomed in data.

- Giant solar panel field?
- Irrigation?
- Echelon listening post?

I answered:

These are Evaporative salt pans at Port Alma.

Acidus replied:

Damn! Thanks!
