Artist's Comments

This is Pink Lake in Gatineau Quebec, not far from Ottawa. The Lake is called Pink Lake because it was named after the family that settled around that area. The water is actually green.

From the National Capital Commission website…

"Why Is Pink Lake Green?

No, it’s not polluted. However, like any life form, lakes get older. A lake dies when invaded with vegetation that usurps oxygen and suffocates it. Slowly, algae, tall weeds and trees replace the animal life. This natural process called “eutrophication” (plant growth caused by a strong concentration of nutrients) can stretch out to many thousands of years."
