The red pigment in the cyanobacteria produce the deep reds of the open water of the lake, and orange colors of the shallow parts of the lake." Salt-loving organisms include some cyanobacteria, tiny bacteria that grow in water and make their own food with photosynthesis as plants do. But why the pink, red, and orange coloring (which isn't a product of Photoshop!)?Īccording to NASA, "As water evaporates during the dry season, salinity levels increase to the point that salt-loving organisms begin to thrive.

How they come to sport their chosen vibrant color, of course, can be explained by science, but it's still pretty mind-boggling. I'll never get tired of looking at amazing photos of colored lakes.
