• Dead Sea valley, Israel • November 3, 2003 • Taken by Lorien •

A huge pile of salt (harvested from the sea) is laying outside the plant, right on the shore of the Dead Sea, Israel.
And yes, those are mountains in the background... covered with haze. That's the visibility in this area most of the
time. Photo was taken last November.

Wow, impressive all this pile of salt, that is a thing we got to, but not this big as far as I know! Stunning!

I spent 6 weeks in Israel during the summer of 1980 -- I don't remember the salt piles, but I do remember climbing the
mountains. Beautiful shot. I love the trees in the foreground, so delicate!

LOL my reaction was just like Tudy's, thought it was snow at first, but not much snow in those parts ah?
still a great shot
