Aerial views of colourful salt evaporation ponds, San Francisco, USA - Jul 2016

With vivid hues of pink, orange and green these salt evaporation ponds create a colourful patchwork landscape. Photographer Jason Hawkes captured the colourful hues as he flew over the South San Francisco Bay area in a helicopter. The British aerial photographer caught the breathtaking shots whilst leaning out the side of the copter as it swooped over the stunning vistas. Jason comments: "Nearly 8,000 acres of the South San Francisco Bay is made up of salt evaporation ponds, all of which is protected by the Don Edwards San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge. "Evaporation ponds provide important habitat for more than 70 species of birds. As the ponds are shallow - only 5 metre deep - it's easy for shorebirds to find food in the low salinity ponds.
