An aerial view taken on September 1, 2022, shows heavy machinery used at salt evaporation ponds in Narta lagoon near the city of Vlora, by the Adriatic sea, southwest Albania, where some ponds have turned into pink due to halobacteriums and microscopic algae. Albania has been a traditional producer of sea salt, which nowdays is mainly destined for exports in western markets. (Photo by Gent Shkullaku/AFP Phoho)
