Astrid Riecken

Photographer Astrid Riecken travels to cities where old buildings, monuments and other landmarks won't reveal easily the date of the photograph. Paris is a perfect city to hunt for such photographs. This city offers countless street corners, coffeehouses, old palaces, gardens and places where time appears to stand still.

The Danakil Depression in Ethiopia is one of the hottest and harshest environments on earth, with an average annual temperature of 94 degrees Fahrenheit (34.4 Celsius). For centuries, merchants have travelled there with caravans of camels to collect salt from the surface of the vast desert basin. The mineral is extracted and shaped into slabs, then loaded onto the animals before being transported back across the desert so that it can be sold around the country. Picture taken April 22, 2013.
