This Lake Looks Like an Abstract Painting From Above

Hutt Lagoon is a salt lake located on the west coast near the town of Gregory. The lagoon has 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 pink lake contains the world’s largest microalgae production plant, a 250-hectare series of artificial ponds used to farm Dunaliella salina.

Photographer Kristina Makeeva has captured amazing images of this lagoon that looks like abstract paintings. “I dreamed about the pink lake for a long time, and it turned out to be better than in my dreams. Pools with different shades of red, pink, and sometimes yellow and blue. Pink salt on the shore, which glitters like snow – it all looks like abstractionist paintings in reality. Nature and its colors, in this case, did the magic,” she wrote on Bored Panda.

Make sure to follow the arrows to see all the images.

Hutt Lagoon is a pink lake on the West Coast near the town of Gregory. This very small town is located on a narrow spit between the ocean and the pink lagoon.

Лагуна Хатт – это розовое озеро, соленое с красным или розовым оттенком из-за присутствия каротиноид-продуцирующих водорослей Dunaliella salina, источника бета-каротина, пищевого красителя и источника витамина А.
