Jassen Todorov’s Image<\/p>\n
Jassen Todorov (USA) depicts the clouds reflected in salt ponds that span San Francisco Bay.<\/p>\n
Flying his single-engine Piper Warrior into San Francisco International Airport, Jassen never tires of the changing colours of the ponds.<\/p>\n
On this occasion, he says, \u201cthe light during the golden hour, at sunset, was magnificent\u201d.<\/p>\n
The process of salt collection in the bay was industrialised in the 1800s.<\/p>\n
Since 2003, the South Bay Salt Pond Restoration Project has acquired 6,000 hectares (nearly 15,000 acres).<\/p>\n
The project is removing artificial dykes to recreate tidal marsh habitat. This is allowing salt-tolerant plants and wildlife to flourish once more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jassen Todorov’s Image Jassen Todorov (USA) depicts the clouds reflected in salt ponds that span San Francisco Bay.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":80420,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[442,498,499,500,501,156,5924,111,139,69,61399,61398,61396,61397,61395],"class_list":["post-80419","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-arts-and-design","tag-arts","tag-arts-and-design","tag-artsanddesign","tag-artsdesign","tag-design","tag-entertainment","tag-nature-photography","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-wildlife-competition","tag-wildlife-images","tag-wildlife-photographer-of-the-year","tag-wildphoto","tag-wpy-exhibition"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/80419","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=80419"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/80419\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/80420"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=80419"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=80419"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=80419"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
