We’ve had a relatively warm and dry winter here in Boston.
Now with snow threatening people are throwing rock salt onto the roads and
sidewalks. Not just “people,” rather, the cities of Boston and Cambridge and
the grounds people at Boston University where I work.
And if you ride a bike like me you get it all over your
tires, in your eyes, on your glasses, and in your mouth.
Salt may be the cheapest solution to de-icing our roads but
it is far and away the worst way to do the job. These images are from a photo essay I did for flickr
a few years ago called “City of Salt.” I’d love to hear your
comments.
