EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing salt mines of Las Salinas de Maras in Peru, South America. Each little plot within this vast expanse is individually owned, a testament to the traditional and meticulous organization of this industry. The patterned order and vibrant colors created by the cultivated salt beds are a sight to behold against the dry and arid topography. The high angle view from above allows us to appreciate the abundance of these salt flats, which have been an integral part of Peruvian culture for centuries. The physical geography of this region lends itself perfectly to salt mining, making it a significant industry in Peru. As we gaze upon this image, we can't help but be drawn into its beauty and marvel at the precision with which each plot has been arranged. The background people add scale and perspective, reminding us that despite its natural splendor, this is also a place where work takes place. This photograph captures not only a travel destination but also reflects on Latin American heritage. It embodies typically Peruvian scenes that are stereotypically associated with their rich traditions. Peter Groenendijk/Robert Harding's skillful photography transports us outside our own reality as we contemplate the wonders found within these remarkable salt mines.
