    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

            Claude Shannon. He was my dad’s hero when I was growing up. I was probably the only 4th grader in the state of Florida who could tell you about Shannon’s theory of information.

                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

                      the age old feud between wild boars and humanoid robots. Probably see peace in the middle east before those two get along.

                      Education is extremely important.
