Heavy rains last night covered most of the Uyuni basin with a few inches of water, creating the largest mirror on earth. These are exactly the conditions I hoped to find here, and I feel very lucky. I was happy to step in as the foreground object needed to establish a sense of scale and perspective. The video below gives a 360-degree birds-eye view of the basin.

The leader of our group, Jheison Huerta, a world-class photographer, took the photo below at my request. He clearly understood which was my better side.

For me, being in a place like this is a spiritual experience. I feel both insignificant and yet fully connected to the universe.
