Mil Besos Photography

One of the most memorable places I've visited and one that I need to come back to is Machu Picchu. Not only was it such a unique site to see and photograph, but what made it extra special was all the like minded people that I met along the way.

In Marsala, Sicily, one of the top tourist draws are the Marsala salt flats.

The salt flats were introduced to the Trapani and Marsala area by the Phoenicians. Having noted the extremely favourable conditions for salt production (using the ancient water evaporation process), they decided to channel seawater into ponds where it evaporated, and the resulting salt was harvested and then exported throughout the Mediterranean basin.

Despite their ancient origins, the salt flats are still being worked using traditional methods.
