Cerulean Crystals

A saturated orange retaining wall separates teal and cerulean salt ponds. The crystal clear water reveals animal-patterned shapes in the sedimentation, and the strong wind creates subtle ripples on the water’s surface. I captured this abstract image while flying over the salt ponds at Useless Loop near Denham in Western Australia. The ponds get their colours from different types of algae, and the vibrancy varies depending on the time of day.
