Salt pans of Salin de Giraud, France.
These salt water lagoons are surrounded by sand dunes. Originally sculpted by the wind they are now man-made - at least around Salin-de-Giraud. They are where salt is produced - dried by the sun and wind in immense spaces called salins. This salt was a source of great wealth for the so-called salt abbeys of Ulmet and Psalmody in the Middle Ages.
