Mondrian Salt Flats


I came across this stunning picture of Mondrian Salt Flats in Redwood City, CA. The actual name would be Cargill Salt Flats, but since this picture displays such Mondrian-esque scene, the Infrastructure edition of Pictory magazine renamed it.

After over a century of salt production, Cargill Salt announced plans in 2006 to decommission the flats. Now, five years later, environmentalists want the 1433-acre plot to be restored as bay wetlands, while Cargill hopes to develop housing for 30,000 residents.
