Unforgettable Jiuzhaigou

If someone were to tell me that one could find five kinds of colors in one and the same lake, I'm sure that I would have called him a liar.  But no longer. Now that I have seen it with my own eyes, I am quite prepared to run that same "risk".

Fresh water flowing down from the snow covered mountains

See how fresh the water is

In this photo, you find green, yellow, orange, blue and even a little purple and a tad of grey.

In this one, you'll find a whole patch of impossible blue

Reflections of tree on the lake in various shades of green

Here you'll find reflections of hillside trees upon the water weeds at the bottom of the lake.

In this one, the color of the water changes again

Here you'll find some bluish green

The bottom of the lake are full of broken branches overgrown with fresh water weeds.

Here the color of the lake changes slightly again.

Look, the water looks so blue

The bottom of the lake is criss crossed with logs.

yellow and orange over green and blue

One can hardly tell which is the reflection and which the original. That's magic !
