When you picture a lake in your mind, what colour is that lake?
Blue, right?
When told to imagine a lake -- any lake -- most people would think of a blue lake.
Well now, try to imagine a pink lake.
Yes, pink like strawberry ice cream.
Or like a strawberry milkshake.
It's difficult, quite difficult, to make the mind conjure up a picture of a pink lake.
Well, no need to try too hard.
Because here are some photos of the real thing -- an incredible, magically beautiful pink lake -- Lake Hillier in Western Australia.

I would love to visit the lake.
Somehow, it made me think of the "Lake Isle of Innisfree", by W. B. Yeats:
"I will arise and go now, for always night and day
I hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore;
While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements grey,
I hear it in the deep heart's core."
And from the rose-hued Lake Hillier, it would be interesting to travel, at least in the mind, to Homer's "wine-dark sea".
This world of ours -- what a beautiful place it is.
"...for peace comes dropping slow,
Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings;
There midnight's all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow,
And evening full of the linnet's wings."
