Salt, water and clouds in Bolivia..

Some of the most amazing scenery I saw on my trip back down was in Bolivia, especially the Salt Flats near Uyuni, which I reached via train from Oruro (once the road blockade outside La Paz was lifted, thankfully just before I needed to go there..). The following are sights from the train trip, and the 3 day jeep trip I did over the Bolivian Salt Flats..
