WHAT ARE YOU DOING TODAY (PICS)

Some pics from my 5-day motorcycle trip thru the mountains to the salt flats in Uyuni
Roadside shops on the way there. Good for snacks, water and a break from the sun.
Mostly dry, arid mountains with some greener valleys in the mix. This is around 2000 mts altitude.
We stayed at a nice hotel on the edges of the salt flats. Hotels are at 30% of normal rates due to Covid slump. We’re at 3800 mts here.
This salt sculpture was erected on 2006, first year the Dakar Rally included Bolivia. Rains are doing their thing on the top of the touareg’s head and it looks like we’ll let it drip away.
These are the typical hexagons which form every year once the standing rain water dries up and the topmost salt layer expands. I think I’ve seen the same physical process in tundra as it freezes and thaws. Maybe the high latitude folks know more about this cool phenomena.

Old trains left to rot away
A decrepit hanging bridge. Not in use anymore and mostly a photog backdrop nowadays.
Typical mountain road scenery and vehicles. Good roads, clear/cool/cold air, and very little traffic…makes for outstanding motorcycle opportunities.

Absolutely. Tremendous shots. The trains are perhaps my favourite, but tje salt flat hexagons are crazy too. I have not encountered anything like that up here, but the tundra is even further north than me.
