Salt ponds

Having launched the kite (Sutton 30) at the eastern end of Salt Pond E8X, I walked the levee westward to the outflow of Salt Pond E9. This route placed Salt Pond E14, a dry pond bottom managed as Snowy Plover habitat on my right, while the tidal ponds, E8X and E9, were on my left. Toward the end of the walk, the Mt. Eden Creek mudflat and marsh replaced E14 on the right. Of interest in this set of photographs is how the E8X and E9 pond bottoms are accumulating sediment and vegetation. It is…

Salt ponds around the world have been expanding due to the demand for polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and other chemicals that are manufactured from salts. These particular ponds are located on the south end of the Dead Sea, with the western edge of the pond marking the Jordan-Israel border. https://www.google.ca/amp/gizmodo.com/salt-ponds-at-the-dead-sea-1560507635/amp

Alviso Marina County Park. It’s interesting to see how this once busy 1800s port town has transformed into a quiet spot for nature and history fans. The salt flats here are a remarkable sight, where the pink and red hues of the salt ponds, tinted by salt-loving microorganisms, create a unique landscape that feels like stepping into a different planet. The park is a part of a national wildlife refuge, great for bird watching and seeing the landscape change with the tides. It’s also a solid…

Salt evaporation ponds, also called salterns, are shallow artificial ponds designed to extract salts from sea water. To make it's sea salt, many companies in Australia are using a method called "solar evaporation". Solar salt is produced by the action of …

Much of California’s southern Bay Area is known for expensive real estate, tech companies, and aerospace engineers — what’s not usually talked about is its salt content. Yet the salt industry has been an active part of the area for over a century. As one flies into the San Francisco airport, evidence of it appears as a richly colored quilt of briny pools in acid green, ochre, and toxic-looking reds.

Необычное зрелище можно наблюдать в заливе Сан-Франциско. Если смотреть издалека, то картина напоминает нидерландские поля тюльпанов, хотя к растительности место имеет косвенное отношение. На самом деле яркие пятна ни что иное как соляные пруды, использующиеся для добычи соли из морской воды В…

I have a deep fascination with salt flats. And yes, these are indeed salt evaporation fields and not abstract paintings. I mean, how can you not be absolutely mesmerized by the vivid colors and geometric…

Salt Ponds San Francisco Bay

Salt Pond A8 is an interesting complex just west of Alviso Slough and the town of Alviso proper. This large salt pond contains the remnants of several small salt ponds and, as far as I can tell, has not been in production for the last several years. It will soon be returned to tidal flow. I visited during a pleasant late afternoon and walked the kite the entire length of the pond’s west and south edges. The photographs are interesting in that they show two distinct layers of water. The upper…
