They look like the work of an abstract artist, instead these perplexing pictures show salt fields.
它們像抽象藝術(shù)家筆下的作品，這些令人震撼的照片所拍攝的是鹽地。

They are the work of Vancouver-based photographer David Burdeny, whose ‘Salt Series’, shot over the last two years, comprises of pictures taken from a helicopter over locations in Western Australia, Utah and Mexico.
這些于過去兩年拍攝的“鹽系列”是溫哥華攝影師David Burdeny鏡頭下的作品，他乘坐直升機(jī)在澳大利亞西岸，猶他州和墨西哥上空拍下這些照片。

The shallow artificial ponds are designed to extract salt from sea water through evaporation and the vibrant, geometric patterns and colours appear because of variable levels of algae and salt within the ponds.
這些淺水人工湖泊的形成是由于海水中的鹽分不斷蒸發(fā)，然而鹽湖中海藻和鹽的密度不同，因此產(chǎn)生了各種變幻莫測的幾何圖案。

As Burdeny explains himself: "The sublime resides even in an ordinary space."
正如Burdeny這樣描述自己：“崇高存在于平凡中”。
