Barkol Salt lake
Legs wrapped in fisherman pants immersed in water up to the knees… At first glance they seem to be simple fishermen, but instead they are filtering a white foam and salt. Men and women armed with spatulas and sacks, work for hours under the sun in order to earn some money to take care of their families.

Barkol Lake people
The sun is reflecting on the mirror water of Barkol Salt
Lake used exclusively by locals for work. However, their job is quite hard,
they are smiled and very polite.
And our lenses cannot resist them :)
