pesu - Nov, 26 2008 02:11pm I like this one still more... geri - Nov, 26 2008 04:11pm It looks as somebody has poured turquoise paint in a bowl of milk. Impressive! bineba - Nov, 26 2008 04:11pm Do you know what causes the water to be this colour? basia - Nov, 30 2008 02:11pm The beautiful colors. Great picture. aufgehts - Nov, 30 2008 06:11pm Wow, a really dramatic location! Mountain lakes rock! plancarpin - Dec, 02 2008 10:12am Sabine, I do not know where is the turquoise colour is coming from, but I just uploaded a pix from same lake, seen from the shore.. the turquoise colour is still there! ;-) btw Turquoise lake or Scorpion lake as it is sometimes known refers only to his colour (turqoise) or shape (scorpion), the real tibetan name is Yamdrok Tso, meaning the lake (Tso) of the high pasture (Yamdrok) frenchfrog - Dec, 02 2008 01:12pm Many thanks Jean Phillipe, you are perfectly right. Thank you for adding that information! mistybleu - Dec, 09 2008 11:12pm Is it possible that the turquoise colour is because the source of the water if from glaciers. When the ice is compressed over thousands of years it makes the colour change from clear to turquoise? annagreg - Sep, 22 2009 11:09am Nice colours! Is that in real? leillli - Oct, 15 2009 05:10am beautifully captured!well done
