How is sea salt harvested in traditional salt pans?

In traditional salt pans, seawater flows through a system of shallow evaporation pools. Sun and wind gradually evaporate the water, raising salinity until sodium chloride crystallizes out. Workers then rake the salt crystals to the edges or pile them up for collection. The entire process can take several weeks depending on climate conditions.

The muted color palette under an overcast sky reinforces the sober, documentary character.
