Wow - Tina getting into abstracts ;-)

Wonderful shots.

Do you have any with people in them so that I'd be able to assess the scale?

Terrible and wonderful place, salt;
No salt, no life,
Too much salt, no life either ....

Salary comes from salt, salt money, the roman soldiers were paid so, etc...

Thanks for sharing Tina, much appreciated.
