This Photographer Put a Giant Mirror In a Salt Flat

Australian photographer Murray Fredericks has spent years visiting and photographing the salt flats at Lake Eyre, the lowest point in Australia. For his latest project, titled Vanity, Fredericks brought a giant mirror and created gorgeous, abstract landscape photos at dawn, dusk, and night.

A Time-Lapse of the World’s Largest Salt Flat, Where the Earth Reflects the Sky

Time-lapse photographer Enrique Pacheco shot this beautiful time-lapse at Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia, the world's largest salt flat. The 4,000-square-mile area is a popular destination for photographers, as the ground reflects the sky in ways that blur the distinction between heaven and earth.

Pacheco captures this natural beauty in motion in this 3-minute film titled "Reflections From Uyuni."

The World’s Largest Salt Flat, Where Heaven Meets Earth: Bolivia’s Salar de Uyuni

Salar de Uyuni is a gigantic salt flat found in southwest Bolivia. Measuring over 4,000 square miles (10,000+ square km), it's the world's largest salt flat. The ground is especially flat and white, and is often used to calibrate instruments on satellites due to its properties.

Japanese photographer Asako Shimizu visited and captured images of this location for a project titled On Her Skin. It's a series of 9 square photographs showing how the flat blurs the distinction between heaven and Earth.
