Pink Lake, Western Australia

Western Australia is a state occupying the entire western third of the Australian continent.

Perth is the capital and largest city of the Australian state of Western Australia.

Esperance is famous for its pristine beaches, spectacular coastal scenery and its unique Pink Lake.

Pink Lake just out of Esperance is pink, and sometimes even purple, depending on weather conditions. In fact depending what time of the day you visit the Lake, and the current water and salinity levels, the pink has been known to change from brilliant blues to a fairy-tale pink. The colour of the lake is attributed to high concentrations of salt tolerant algae, Dunalella Sailina.

Thank you to Megan for sending me those wonderful postcards from her home.

Closed up details.

Bermuda Postcard

I was so happy to receive a postcard from Bermuda.

Officially, the Bermuda Islands or the Somers Isles is a British overseas territory in the North Atlantic Ocean.

Bermuda is very susceptible to hurricanes. Its position along the Gulf Stream means that it is often directly in the path of hurricanes recurving in the westerlies, although they have usually begun to weaken as they approach the island. It is often affected by these hurricanes, although the island's small size means that direct landfalls are rare.

The only source of fresh water in Bermuda is rainfall, which is collected on roofs and catchments (or drawn from underground lenses) and stored in tanks. Each dwelling usually has at least one of these tanks forming part of its foundation.
