Braided Glacial Rivers Over Salt Ponds Ouagadougou

by Irene Bravo

Turbid water threads through pale gravel flats in a complex braid pattern, creating distinct channels that separate light-toned sediment bars. Above these waterways, rectangular salt ponds form a geometric grid of white and gray, bordered by narrow causeways that cut across the landscape. The midmorning sun casts short, sharp shadows that define the texture of the dry earth and the water's surface. Heat shimmer distorts the horizon slightly, blurring the line between the ground and the pale sky. The composition follows a grid-like structure where natural waterways intersect with human-made salt harvesting infrastructure. Darker wet sand contrasts against the bright, sun-bleached salt crusts lining the pond edges.
