Colored Lakes
Environmental Graffiti has a cool post about different colored lakes from around the world, I'd love to be able to check some of these out. Maybe not the blood-colored one that stinks, but the others are cool.
The above lake is Five Flower Lake in China, near Tibet. There is a lot of dissolved calcium carbonate in the water that leaches in from the rocks below, so it not only makes the water ultra-clear but also preserves the tree trunks and debris on the bottom.
