scene in Khánh Hải, Vietnam. Salt evaporation ponds dominate the foreground and middle ground. These ponds are divided into rectangular sections by narrow earthen or concrete walkways and wooden stakes. The water in the ponds varies in color, ranging from light gray to brownish. A person is seen standing in one of the ponds, possibly tending to the salt production process. In the background, a village or small town nestles at the foot of hills and mountains under a pale sky. Vegetation, consisting of low-lying bushes and shrubs, is visible along the near edge of the ponds.
