Photographer's Note
Salar de Uyuni (or Salar de Tunupa) is the world's largest salt flat at 10,582 km² (4,085 square miles). It is located in the Potosí and Oruro departments in southwest Bolivia, near the crest of the Andes, 3,650 meters high. The major minerals found in the salar are halite and gypsum.
While I was crossing it, aboard of this off-road, I was thinking you can drive even blinded for several minutes without running any risk.

Hi Matteo
A real feeling of loneliness. The place seems really infinite, and I like the forms on the ground and the lines in the sky

This a classic view and composition from the salary lakes of Bolivia. Colors and contrasts are really well handled, very good work.
Best regards Matteo.

scatto eccezionale. contrasto cromatico incredibile tra bianco e blu. un vuoto pieno con colori incredibili.
un rimpianto: non potrò mai salire a queste altitudini...
unica consolazione: esiste un posto simile - anche se non così magico -come il tuz golu in Turchia in cui ho potuto avere una sensazione simile

Next year I intend to go in south-america and any good photo and note from there it make me feel closer! your shots are damn good! but I think this shot it could be better if you crop from the sky - the horizon line is not quite good to be right in the midle. just an idea!
well done matteo!

Ciao Matteo,
veramente molto bella, secondo il mio punto di vista quasi perfetta (quel quasi perchè avrei provato a tenere la macchina un pochino più bassa nell'inquadratura).
Comunque, molto spettacolare.
Bravo!

Ciao Matteo.
Composizione semplicissima: soggetto ai 2/3 dell'inquadratura, con lo spazio maggiore vuoto davanti a se', nel senso della direzione del moto. Natura spettacolare e un tributo alla "nave del deserto", la Landcruiser HJ60.
Ciao.
Bobo.
