SteemitPhotoChallenge Entry #6 - Lone Tree at Lake Mackenzie

in steemitphotochallenge •  8 years ago  (edited)

This is the magnificent freshwater Lake Mackenzie on Fraser Island in Queensland, Australia.

This was shot on Automatic mode, with a Sony alpha6800 Camera in the middle of the day.
I love this camera.

One of the most stunning places I've ever been. I have even scuba dived in Lake Makenzie.

Wow! that would have been fun, but I believe that the water is so pure that practically nothing lives in it. Did you see any life? How deep is it in the middle? Cheers.

Its only about 8-10 m deep at most. There were some small fish and even a few fresh water turtles. After the shallows is quite a steep angle sand slope to the gently undulating bottom of the lake which was covered in about 30cm or so of fluffy decaying leaf matter. Water visibility was at least 30-40 Ft maybe more , hard to tell due to the featureless terrain on the lake floor.

I freedived in the same lake was very eerie to dive with no structure. Fraser is a beautiful place i absolutely love it.

I would love to see some underwater photography from here, It would be other-worldly!
