These pink lakes are not the result of photo manipulation. These rare and beautiful bodies of water exist in various parts of the world. While I could think up tales for their romantic coloring, the real reason they are pink is because of the salty waters. The conditions in these salt rich lakes allow for algae to thrive, which in turn changes the water to gorgeous shades of pink.
