As far as landscapes that look like they’re from another planet entirely go, Australia is right up there with Iceland and parts of South America. Still, despite being a native of Australia, I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything quite like these remarkable images from photographer Simon Butterworth, which we spotted at Russian culture site Look at Me. They’re aerial photos of salt fields in the country’s north, and they look more like abstract photos of crystals than they do like a landscape. There’s more of Butterworth’s work at his website.
