This 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."

aspartamYou are correct. that was breathtaking. I kept waiting for someone to sit on that bench.
PaybackUpvote for levitating fish!
ponceleonWhat floors me the most is the clarify of the water. I've never seen flooding which was this clean before...
EmptyFriendsays...where did those fish come from???
ReverendTedThe bridge over the little creek - is that irony?

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

LannThe clarity and color reminds me of a glacial lake.

Read carefully, he actually APOLOGIZES FOR IT NOT BEING CLEARER! He complains about pollen and dust.
brycewi19Man, weeds will grow just about anywhere!

RyjkyjWOW
demon_ixThat was beautiful.
TymbrwulfWell that freaked me out. Had a dream like this a few years back. Eerily similar...
fjulesAhh, it would be so relaxing and meditative to just swim in the lake and don't care about anything else. Just enjoy the unspoiled beauty of our Earth. I'm really happy now that I own a small lake and some land far in the country side. Some day I will just go there and take a rest from the city troubles.
nancythNow this is amazingly beautiful. The music fits it perfectly. Its almost like one of those things that you see and its see i don’t know so simple and different that it just makes you stop and think. It’s so strange yet just simply tranquil and serene. Sharm El Sheikh Sightseeing *sigh* I love it probably could say it is one of my all time favorite videos if not my favorite. Its as if for a time you get to fly over what would normally be dry land.
