Lake Tyrrell is a pink salt crusted basin in the Mallee district of Victoria, getting there takes about five hours driving from Melbourne, Australia. What attracts Lake Tyrrell to photographers is the low level of water which allows for spectacular mirror like reflections which only occur when there is no wind present.

During particularly wet and warm times of the year, the water at Lake Tyrrell turns pink. This is because of the red pigment that's secreted by pink micro-algae called red marine phytoplankton. The name Tyrrell comes from the Aboriginal word 'tyrille', which means sky or space.

I have visited Lake Tyrrell several times and on my last visit the pink micro-algae was very intense which was a stark contrast against the salt crust. Pointing the camera downwards I was able to capture abstract shapes and patterns as pictured below.
