Pink Fluid or Road to Hell, a photo from Khersonska, East

Photographer's Note

When my son and I were traveling along the curved coastline of Sivash, very salty bay of Azov Sea, the main point of our interest in its westernmost part was a peninsula called "Ad" that for Russian language speakers means "Hell" or "Hades". But as Internet says, in this case Ad is the Crimean Tatar language word, which simply means "first". So this place is not the Hell Peninsula but the First Peninsula. Only fears can be generated by the unusual color of water in this part of the bay. This is not because of some pollution. The color is rather natural. It is due to the very intensive saltiness of the Sivash Bay.

I like this. It almost looks like snow. So the salt makes the water appear this way? I also like the wind power generators in the background. Thanks for sharing.

Hello Sergiy,
This an interesting phenomenon. The pink colour and tone is very attractive. I learned something new today about what the salt can do to the colour of the water. Good work and thanks for sharing.
Best regards
Denis!

Hello Sergiy,

Languages, this is a very difficult problem.

Perfect perspective, I look at with pleasure.
Sharpness and clarity are excellent.
Very well composition nice photo job, TFS.

Have a nice day,
John.

Hello Sergiy,

Really strange contrast between this natural site and these wind mill in background. Interesting photograph on this lake which seems to compete with the Dead Sea� Judicious vertical framing which gives a good depth to the image. The natural colors are beautiful. Well done Sergiy, cheer and thank you for the note.

With all my friendships and a very good end-of-day,

Jean-Charles

Hi Sergiy,

Interesting otherworldly image, unnatural colors and offset by the distant modern icons - wind generators.

Good job,
Ray

Hi Sergiy,
Very beautiful natural environment, impossible for me to imagine this is hell, it is more look like heaven, good contrast between natural environment with the modern windmills in the depth, good vertical to frame it all, thanks for sharing an unique site.

Hello Sergiy,

A superb landscape in a vertical format very well selected. The FG, rich in various details well colected, give a great depht to the image and a plesant prospect to the modern windmill in the BG. I like too the incredible and beautiful color of the water, very well colected too.
Best regards,
Roger

Hi Sergiy,
Very attractive framing with the salt=crusted branches in the foreground and the view across the pink-tinted water to the wind generators in the distance. The note is also very interesting with the word play.

Zdorovenki buly,Sergiej,

Good rock'n'roll title. And so sad picture. This is global problem. Unreal color of the water... Where are your Greenpeace?
Have a nice day!

Zdravo Sergiy. The Russian Ad seems more apt for this inhospitable place. Our precious water is becoming less and less pure.Fascinating colours and salt encrusted shapes. regards. Klaudio.

Hello Sergey,
Interesting color of water, we have the same colored lake in Saki. And also in Senegal you can find Pink Lake, what is the big attraction for lokals and tourists.
Thank you for sharing,
Svetlana

Hello Sergiy,

Very unusual colors of the water. The salt crystals on the branch look like snow. Nice close up image with an excellent informative text. The POV is great. I like the contrast in colors.
