What is the light colored thing mid frame?

Thanks.
well as i had to search to find out what is @wnfdiary talking about i learned something new :D
Potash is potassium chloride and it is used as fertilizer. Water from the Colorado River is pumped deep underground to reach the point where potash is located. Water dissolves Potash and is then pumped up to those artificial ponds. Then they leave it so water would evaporate and they are left with crystalized Potash. Process takes almost a year and ponds is dyed bright blue so it absorb more sunlight and evaporate faster.
learning about mining in photography contest :D

Thank you for your explanation. Next time I think I will make some discretionary Tip money. I would have given you some.
i had no idea that this even existed :D so just sharing what i just learned :D
I was going to make a poor guess that its a military outpost or something but @wnfdiary seems pretty confident in their guess so I'm guessing that they're right. Lol
Thanks for your guess!
Wao, it's a huge potash mine! Thank you for sharing something new. I think @wnfdiary right 😄
Hi @Babeltrips do you have potash mines in Vietnam? This was the first time I had heard of them and seen one.
That's a massive mine! According to what I know we don't have it but our neighbor country, Lao has 🤗
yes, did you watch the video from @derekkind? It showed the mines so well!
Oh I missed it, can you share me a link? 😍
He commented right above you in my post with a link to a great Youtube video
Ahhh, sorry, I am using a phone to access on ecency and didn't see full comments 🙈thank you, I will check later with my laptop.
Nothing more to guess but the answers are really educational :)
I agree, I have learned so much too!
