Spotted Lake, also known as Lake Kliluk, is one of the most visited natural attractions of Canada. It is located about 60 miles from Vancouver, just near the the United States border, between Okanagan and Similkameen Valley in the desert of the Canadian region of British Columbia.
The colorful rings appear due to a high concentration of minerals dissolved in the water which contains some of the highest levels in the world of magnesium sulfate, calcium sulfate, sodium and other minerals, and even small concentrations of silver and titanium. There are over 365 separate tubs which form extraordinary natural and geometric shapes that change color according to the seasons and temperature. When climate is hotter, the water evaporates and decreases in level allowing for the composition of the minerals and their crystallization which are colored white, yellow, green or blue, creating walkways and natural pools of magical charm.

Didn't know that before and not exactly surprised. Apparently there are multiple bands named "Beethoven", including https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camper_Van_Beethoven

Interesting information, but I wish they would have done a better job in trying to add pictures that remotely had something to do with the information. 555

Link to video@Horace In addition to the above interesting video, I also learned that there is a formula for figuring out how long the chain should be
Vessel size (LWL): Length Overall (LO) - 2 x Beam
Draft (D): Depth of water below the vessel’s keel
Cargo type: Liquid, dry bulk, or general cargoResults:
The results of this study are presented in the following formulas:Cargo ships: Minimum chain length (Lc) = 0.5 * LWL + 2 * D
Tankers: Minimum chain length (Lt) = 0.7 * LWL + 3 * D
Passenger vessels: Minimum chain length (Lv) = 0.9 * LWL + 4 * D
