Description
This is an old shot I took at Birket Siwa (Siwa salt lake) near the center of the Siwa Oasis in Egypt. The lake is very salty and salt covers the shore and everything that happen to reach into the water for a certain time. Here a palm tree has found its end because of the salt and the palm leaves have their salt cover near the water.Taken in 2004 on film, with a Canon EOS 500 and an EF f/3.5-5.6 35–105 kit lens. Developed and digitized at a print shop, maybe Sooter's if I am right...

Resonating PixelsUnfortunately we hadn't enough time to do decent features since ages. Neither now—but I collected some of the images from 2018 and paired them to create something like talking pictures. As if they were talking to each other, to emphasize, expand, explain or reflect each other.
I intentionally left out DD awarded images (as far as I know) so I can state that these are not all the best photos. They are in the top but there are many comparable or sometimes even better pics in our 2018 gallery. Please yourself to discover the others, it is worth the time! And take your time to scroll all the way down, because I placed the bests of the bests to the end. And to the start. And in between.

As far as I know.....(have been there) it is diatenaceous earth maybe this is not salt! I think they mine it for cleaning out filters for swimming pools. Not much can live in the water escept microscopic insecty things. Not much groes around it either.
Thanks Horem.

You mean Mono Lake, don't you?
It is interesting thing with diatenaceous earth, it may (or might) be considered as salt, but the amorph silica has some different behaviour…
