Scuba Diving in Flooded Meadow - Breathtaking Scenery
tags:
Stumble ThisThis is one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen.
The "Grüner See" (engl. Green Lake) is situated in upper styria, austria (see geotag). It is amazingly beautiful because of its deep green/blue colour and the surrounding alpine scenery. The lake itself dries up in autumn but fills up with melting water. The water itself of the lake is extremely pure, like glass. The colour is a result of light refraction.
Here's the poster's description:
"The night before there seemed to be heavy rain and too much of the pollen were flushed in the water and were floating. So the visibility could be much better, i´ve missed the „crystal clear“ water. You have to know the Green Lake is famous for its clear water. The good thing for this day was the water level with 9,40m. Spring flowers, plants, benches, hiking trails were below the surface. And i have found out when its the best time during the two to three months "flood" to get in the water - i was to early in this season. Altough the water temperature was between 5 and 6 degrees Celcius i did two dives (85 and 96 minutes long)
My face was well frozen, i can hardly speak afterwards. I hoped this procedure kept my face young and skintight. After watching the footage it seemed to be different."

What floors me the most is the clarify of the water. I've never seen flooding which was this clean before...
Absolutely, I'm astonished by that. The water must pour in very gently and something about the geology (very rocky, poorly developed soils?) must prevent it from silting up.
Amazing sift, should be #1. Any time I see some new phenomena that I didn't know the Earth could produce I'll sift it very enthusiastically
e: Not to break the flow of your tags, nom, but I liked the music so much that I wanted it to be searchy

Read carefully, he actually APOLOGIZES FOR IT NOT BEING CLEARER! He complains about pollen and dust.
