Dawn Over The Salar

Sunday 6th July

Today I made the dawn. It was well worth it. Pre-dawn light show...





The moment...



And the island is washed bronze...



Shadows stretch off to infinity....



As strange patterns in salt glow amber in relief...



Riding back to Uyuni we come across the place where 2 tour jeeps tragically collided and exploded. Blackened salt is a chilling testimony to the heat of impact. There is a small shrine to the girls that died in the crash. It´s a mystery how 2 vehicles could not avoid each other here...



We visit the tourist hotel made entirely from salt...



Dani checks the authenticity of the carved statues...
