The pink lake at Port Gregory, Western Australia
This is one view I love from above, the pink lake of Port Gregory. It is a landmark. Flying over it I know Geraldton is behind me and beautiful Shark Bay is beyond.
The colour pink is caused by a certain algae that is salt tolerant and produces carotenoids. It is not always pink. Once I walked along the shore of this lake and seen at ground level it was a faded, pale tinge. There is another pink lake in Esperance and despite visiting the town over 100 times, I have yet to see it as pink as this lake.
There are times when the colour is more vivid than it was on this day but always this piece of nature’s fairy floss, never fails to delight the eye.
Until next time
As always

Great view. The one in Esperance was reported as diminishing in colour.
