•  Info Salineras (salt evaporation ponds) in Maras, Peru. The salt is obtained in Maras since the Inca Empire times and the site is currently composed of around 3.000 ponds of 5 square metres (54 sq ft) each. As the location is surrounded by salty mountains, subterrean water deposits the salty wather in the ponds and the water evaporates due to the exposure to the sun. After aprox. 1 month the level of salt reaches 10 centimetres (3.9 in) and is removed in sacks. All by me, Poco² 15:24, 16 February 2016 (UTC)

•  Support Because of "errors", I can't view the photo at full size, so there's a level of trust here. I also might like the photo more if the crop were further to the left, but I can't know that. Either way, this certainly seems like a deserving candidate, and thanks for the background information. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 18:11, 16 February 2016 (UTC)

  Ikan: did you try with a different browser? Poco² 20:17, 16 February 2016 (UTC)

• No, only on Firefox. Ikan Kekek (talk) 21:42, 16 February 2016 (UTC)

• Ikan I recommend using the Zoom viewer links below the image for very large pictures if your PC can't load them. However, I try those links to day and they aren't responding -- sometimes the WMFLabs needs a reset. -- Colin (talk) 14:11, 17 February 2016 (UTC)

•  Comment - I used the zoom link, but it only got me to 1,280 × 437 pixels. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 15:42, 17 February 2016 (UTC)

Ikan, that's not the "zoom" link, but just one of several downsized options. Look for the text "ZoomViewer:". Sometimes one has to ask at the Village Pump for an admin to fix the server, as it goes down regularly. -- Colin (talk) 17:17, 17 February 2016 (UTC)

• I see this now. It doesn't seem to be opening, though, as you said. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 17:41, 17 February 2016 (UTC)
