In Sicily on the West coast there is a region known for hot dry winds and an ancient industry of salt panning (collecting sea water in large shallow areas and using the sun to evaporate the water until the salt is revealed). When the wet salt is retrieved from pans it is stacked into huge piles to dry completely. Here I directed Mina to sample it for a sense of scale to compose this shot on our honeymoon! While we were there I offered to put some in a ziplock bag to take home, but Mina insisted that was stealing. Meanwhile a family of 4 drove up and took some in a paper cup, their young daughter proceeded to spill while boarding their car! Mina and I bought some at a gift shop instead.
