This picture is taken from the aeroplane as we flew over San Francisco Bay, and the coloured areas that you can see are salt ponds. The different colours represent different stages of the desalination process. An awe-inspring sight.
This was put together for this week's gallery over at Sticky Fingers where the subject is "Mother Nature".

The Gallery photo is stunning! All those colours just amazing! Great take on Mother Nature theme x
Dan says
The photo of the bay is wonderful, almost like abstract art. I have never managed to take a decent photo from a plane window- not for the want of trying!
Abby says
Wow, those salt ponds are amazing!

The salt ponds are so interesting! I never knew they were different colours according to the stage in the process. And I can imagine that must have been quite a sight to fly over. Good representation of mother nature mixed with human intervention!

This may sound ridiculous but I took that photo back in 2005 and it wasn't until last night that I knew what the different colours were! I always meant to find out but I kept forgetting. It is fascinating the different stages.

Wow that's cool. My OH goes to San Fran every year with work, I am desperate to go too, you've given me one more reason!

Sarah says
Wow! Incredibly awe inspiring photos and the one from the air for 'Mother Nature' theme is something else!!!
Lucy says
Great picture for mother nature. Also just read that you use the Canon 300D – me too! It is a great camera considering its age.
theboyandme says
It's fab, takes some brilliant pictures still and I wouldn't even consider upgrading it at the moment simply for the sake of it!

WOW! You learn something every day. I've been to San Fran twice and I never saw/heard of these salt ponds. Amazing. Thanks for sharing.
theboyandme says
Had I not been peering out the window at that moment, I would have missed it. Amazing the sights that are out there but that we miss with the blink of an eye!
Gone Bananas says
Gorgeous pics! I wish I had a really good camera! Maybe if I'm extra good this year Santa will bring me one? ;0)
Mummy Matters says
Wow, great picture – I love the different landscapes you can see from the air. I took a great picture over Egypt once but can I find it?! No!
Herding cats says
