this is an example of recount text of mine
Salar de Uyuni : The
Largest Natural Mirror
After
coming back from hiking, I start to be intrested about travelling. I read books
about travelling. I browse about travelling on internet. I am obsessed about
travelling now. Someday, when I was browsing about travelling, my eyes pointed
at a picture of landmark that looked like a mirror, a giant natural mirror. The
name of the place is Salar de Uyuni.
Salar
de Uyuni is the world's largest salt flat at 10,582 square kilometers (4,086 sq
mi). It is located in the Potosí and Oruro departments in southwest Bolivia,
near the crest of the Andes and is at an elevation of 3,656 meters (11,995 ft)
above mean sea level. It was created by prehistoric lake dried up. It is part
of the Altiplano of Bolivia in South America. The Altiplano is a high plateau,
which was formed during uplift of the Andes mountains. The plateau includes
fresh and saltwater lakes as well as salt flats and is surrounded by mountains
with no drainage outlets.
When
it dried up, it left a couple of seasonal puddles and several salt pans. Bright
salt delicately colored mineral lakes in the Andean mountain. The view which
full of white salt makes you feel in a dreamland. In other way, when it rains,
the salty crust becomes a giant mirror. It is caused by water that cover the
surface. The view is really amazing. It looks like you can walk on the sky. The
reflection from the water makes you can touch the sky and stand on the sky. The
beauty of this vast salt desert makes it one of South America's greatest inspiring
spectacles.
There
is no word to explain how beautiful it is. It has sprouted up my desire to go
there. Maybe I will regret if I couldn’t go there once in all time of my live.
I thanks to God that has created a beautiful place like that.
