Salt mounds in Salar de Uyuni, Bolivia. The Salar de Uyuni is the world's largest (12 000 km²) and highest (3 700 m) salt flat, ca. 25 times as large as the Bonneville Salt Flats. It's the remnant of a prehistoric lake surrounded by mountains without drainage outlets. Salt is harvested in the traditional method: the salt is scraped into small mounds for water evaporation and easier transportation, dried over fire, and finally enriched with iodine.

Knives, forks, and spoons made from a biodegradable starch-polyester material. The photo has been realized using the photoelasticity method, an experimental method which gets a fairly accurate picture of stress distribution even around abrupt discontinuities in a material. When a ray of plane polarised light is passed through a photoelastic material, it gets resolved along the two principal stress directions and each of these components experiences different refractive indices. The difference in the refractive indices leads to a relative phase retardation between the two component waves. The setup used to photograph this photo was probably composed of: A regular light source, with a quarter-wave plate installed to polarize the emerging light A regular photo camera, with a quarter-wave plate installed in front of the lens Light and camera being installed and oriented in the same direction, the two quarter-wave plates were turned with the polarizing axis in the same direction.
