The mystery of the lake brings incredible magic to the pink

Absolutely not a product of photoshop, this is a pink lake that is real in nature, being like one of the natural wonders, created by the hand.

Hutt Lagoon is a magical pink lake, located on the west coast near the town of Gregory, only about 5 hours drive from Perth. Surrounding the lake is a blue ocean. Although the road is long and deserted, this place still attracts tourists.

It is known that Lake Hutt Lagoon was first discovered in 1839 by explorer George Gray when he was exploring the west coast of Australia. After that, he took the name of the second Australian Governor to name the lake. It was the governor who was also instrumental in exploring the southwestern region of Australia and New Zealand.

Water colors in the lake are very eye-catching, often changing colors because of the influence of many factors

With a length of 14 km, 2.3 km wide on a total area of 70 km2, Lake Hutt Lagoon has an eye-catching water color that seems to appear only in fairy tales.

The mystery of the beautiful water color is due to the presence of a red algae ß-carotene, a food coloring agent and a source of vitamin A. This is the reservoir containing the world’s largest "micro-algae" plant.

All year round, the water color is not fixed but will change according to the amount of algae bottom, weather and sunlight. Even, depending on the time of day as well as the amount of cloud cover, the water color of Hutt Lagoon lake changed from dark pink to purple. Sometimes, the lake water turns red, or yellow. It can be said that the color of the lake is determined by the number of algae blooming at that time.

Having a chance to visit Lake Hutt Lagoon, the photographer Kristina Makeeva goes from Russia to Australia for being too passionate. “I dreamed of a pink lake for a long time and finally arrived here.

It is a lake with nuances, sometimes red roses, purple roses, even yellow and blue. Salt strips on the bank sparkle like snow. All beyond imagination, like a fanciful picture, ”he said.

From experience, to see the fullest color of Hutt Lagoon lake, visitors should come in the morning when it is sunny. If the day goes dark, the lake water will be muddy. In particular, you can completely wade into the water to get the image as expected because the water here is quite safe for human health.
