A lone figure stands at the edge of a perfectly still Bolivian salt flat at 12,000 feet on New Year's Eve, their reflection creating absolute symmetry in the rain-soaked surface. The sunset paints the sky in warm golds while the water reflects cool blues, creating the color separation that photographers chase. This is the reward for being present at the margins of day, when light transforms ordinary landscapes into surreal dreamscapes. The human presence provides scale to the vastness.
