Orumieh lake

This beautiful salt lake is located at north west part of IRAN,

unfortunately is going to die and dry...

I drove near 1700 km to reach there to visit this beautiful lake ,

which recently changed to red, of unknown reasons...

Thank you very much for your constructive and beneficial critiques and

comments.

Beautifull photo of a very rarely visited place Hamid,did you try a crop with less sky?very nice work with unusual water colours,regards,Harry

Preciosa luz, color y un bello encuadre, Saludos Hamid.

A beautiful shot with very nice lighting and colours, Hamid!

Nice capture from the biggest salt lake in the world.Well done.Actually,there is no wild life there,the same as fish or any sea animals.

Thnx alot for taking and sharing.

Regards(Bobby).

very nice light. just a question: there is a strange halo over the mountain, what it is?

Thank you for your kind comments all of my dear friends.

Dear Harry: There was no intereting f/g elements in this scene, so i prefered omit this part for the sky, which also is detail free and somewhat flat. Thank you for your beneficial suggestion.

Dear Niki: When i arrived the sea shore area, time was near 11 AM, very hot climate, humid atmosphere, very bright sky and a strange annoying and disturbing fog-like haze just over the horizon ( which you see here ). Landscape photography is a bit dependant to chance, in there you find more beauty in sky and some better climate. I hadnt any time to spend time till sunset, catching more vibrant colors of that time. Many thanks for your respect.

Hamid.

Like those coloured layers!

Hamid, Really wonderful shot of this lake. The colors are great and a bit surreal, but if it turned red for no explainable reason then it makes sense. As with every unexplainable phenomenon today, it is probably being blamed on global warming. It's a great shot. Thank you for drawing my attention to this place and for sharing this. 

very beautiful scene...congrats

Lovely landscape, Hamid...very colorful and serene...my best
