Hutt Lagoon is a pink lake, a salt lake with a red or pink hue due to the presence of the carotenoid-producing algae Dunaliella salina, a source of ß-carotene, a food-colouring agent and source of vitamin A. The lagoon contains the world's largest microalgae production plant, a 250-hectare (620-acre) series of artificial ponds used to farm Dunaliella salina.[2]
hope this answers your question. no matter how you go its Pink. my fav shot of the trip.
I like this very much, especially the dead wood in the foreground. I can almost imagine a couple of old wooden crosses (for Halloween at least!) and a big hand painted sign saying "Poison!"
Thanks for sharing this, and the great info on it too.
Sad part is to look the part they would have to be there a few years to look like the fit in with the landscape. Quite a hot place as well I guess helps the pink. many thanks, All the best from down under.
