Salt industry on Bonaire (Netherlands Antilles)
Much of Bonaires Southern half has been made into a giant system of ponds and pools which take seawater and allow incrimental evaporation of the water until the only remaining product is sea salt. Bonaires solar salt works produces 400, 000 tons of industrial grade salt per year primarily using wind to operate windmill-driven pumps and gates and the sun to evaporate the collected seawater

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mesmerizing salt industry on the picturesque island of Bonaire in the Netherlands Antilles. As you gaze upon this image, you are transported to Bonaires' southern half, where an expansive network of ponds and pools has been ingeniously designed to extract sea salt from seawater through a gradual process of evaporation. The sheer magnitude of this operation is awe-inspiring; Bonaires' solar salt works produces a staggering 400,000 tons of industrial-grade salt annually. The windmill-driven pumps and gates, powered by the relentless Caribbean winds, work harmoniously with the radiant sun to evaporate every drop of collected seawater until only pure sea salt remains. In this photograph, tranquility envelops the landscape as reflections dance upon still waters. The vibrant colors paint a picture-perfect scene against the backdrop of clear blue skies and rolling hills. With no human presence in sight, nature reigns supreme in this untouched corner of paradise. This image serves as a testament to both human ingenuity and our symbiotic relationship with nature. It showcases how innovation can harness renewable resources like wind and sunlight to sustainably meet our industrial needs without compromising environmental harmony. Frans Sellies's skillful photography beautifully encapsulates not just an industry but also a travel destination that seamlessly blends business with breathtaking natural beauty.
