Lake Salda is a mid-size crater lake in southwestern Turkey, within the boundaries of Yeşilova district of Burdur Province. It lies at a distance of about fifty kilometers to the west from the province seat Burdur.

Lake Salda is often included in the Turkish Lakes Region that extends across inner western to southern Anatolia, especially Isparta Province and Afyonkarahisar Province, although Lake Salda is geographically separate from the larger lakes, which are more to the east and, being a crater lake, is morphologically different from these tectonic lakes.

The lake area covers 4,370 hectares, and its depth reaches 196 meters, making it one of the deeper lakes in Turkey, if not the deepest. The lake sedimentary records show high resolution climate changes that are related to solar variability during the last millennium.

The lake is a popular excursion spot for people across the region or from beyond, the more so due to the hydromagnesite mineral found in its coastal waters, which is believed to offer remedies for certain dermatological diseases. The shorelines, surrounded by black pine forests, are also popular among hunters, the game and the fowl available including quails, hares, foxes, boars and wild ducks, aside from the lake's fish. White sandy beaches, limpid water and seven crystal-white islets within the lake complete the scenery.

A township that starts almost at the shore to the southwest of the lake carries the same name, Salda. The local administrative seat of Yeşilova is located to the east of the lake at a distance of about four kilometers and Yeşilova municipality manages the lake's camping facilities.

Its peculiar morphology has led to a number of academic studies conducted on Lake Salda. The unusual alkaline nature of the lake means that is one of the few locations where ancient stromatolite algae still grows.

In 2019, a team of planetary scientists from America and Turkey conducted research on Lake Salda's shoreline microbialite sediments. In March 2021, NASA reported that its Mars surface-exploring rover Perseverance showed that "the minerals and rock deposits at Salda are the nearest match on earth to those around the Jezero Crater where the spacecraft landed."

Hoping to protect the Lake Salda area, the nation's environmental authority has launched a huge national park project. The Salda Lake National Park is currently under construction and should be finished in 2023.(Wiki)

Might have been better to invest in habitat preservation for all Polar Bears, rather than saving a few in zoos.

Nonetheless, I was happy to have the opportunity to see this one here, since I am never going to see a wild one.

Happy Zoo Tuesday!

Save Me ..... by Clix Renfew

Save me from me

Go on and leave me

I’m not sure you need me

So don’t cry over me

Save me from me

Go on and leave me

I’m not sure you need me

So don’t cry over me

If you wanna stay growing up with me

If you wanna go I’m the one you need

If you wanna stay growing up with me

If you wanna go I’m the one you need

If you wanna stay growing up with me

If you wanna go I’m the one you need

If you wanna stay growing up with me

If you wanna go I’m the one you need

Save me from me

Take me out to breathe

This time I’m ready,

Ready to escape

Round and round I’m turning around

I’m in a cage so help me to fly

Up in the sky feeling high

I see the moon my heart is full

If you wanna stay growing up with me

If you wanna go I’m the one you need

If you wanna stay growing up with me

If you wanna go I’m the one you need

If you wanna stay growing up with me

If you wanna go I’m the one you need

If you wanna stay growing up with me

If you wanna go I’m the one you need

"Save Me......"

Save the Whales! by Holly

“To save a single whale is to save 1,000 trees.”

I read recently that whales are considered carbon sinks. Meaning that they absorb more carbon dioxide than they release into the atmosphere. If whales weren’t already amazing enough, it turns out that they help fight climate change! ~

I — I Wanna be free,

I wanna be high, I wanna be me

Time, time will tell

Where we’re going, and where we fell

Baby baby don’t you wanna know...

Gorgeous new Belleza applier has me out of hiding. Plus - I needed a distraction.

You can find the applier at the main store & this fucking fantastic liner is over at Summerfest.

Save As Draft

...But all's been said and done

Will we ever really close this case?

Yeah, I will always be here for you, but I could no longer stay

Still my body goes in shock every time I hear your name

I struggle

I juggle

I could just throw a line to you

But I should let sleeping dogs lie 'cause I know better, baby

I write it

Erase it

Repeat it

But what good will it do

To reopen the wound

So I take a deep breath

And I save as draft

I've heard you've done some changing

I've been rearranging

Wish that I could know, but I just don't know

Never get that time back

Fear we'd fall in old traps

Why can't we just let go

Staring at a fork in the fucking road...

Saved the Day by Mike Molnar

Upon learning that a trio of GP9s had been paired for one of the Hamilton sets, there was only one reasonable and logical thing to do. Wake up at 3am and drive to Hamilton for sunrise of course. When I arrived in Hammer town I was greeted by a group of friends who had driven overnight from even further away than I, who stayed the night at a rest stop. In these days, the 0700 worked the industrial sector of Hamilton called "the hole", and the 0800 just switched the yard on the weekend. When the 0700 job crew walked over to the less desirable GP38 duo (crazy to think that's undesirable) there was a unanimous "groan" from the crowd. The trio was not a guarantee, and it was a gamble that we all chose that looked like it wasn't going to pay off. We chased the duo into the hole to Bunge where they started switching food grade tank cars. While watching them switch we all came to the conclusion that to salvage the day, we would shoot mainline trains with the searchlights on the Dundas Sub. We were about to leave when we heard "0800 job CN 4116 looking to enter the hole". We all looked at each other with smiles and "hell yeahs". A few minutes later the 0800 crew passed the 0700 crew next to Bunge, and the morning chase of a somewhat rare 0800 hole morning commenced. Photographing two CN jobs in the hole at the same time is also a fairly rare occurrence. Moral of the story, stick it out. The line "so you're telling me there's a chance" from Dumb and Dumber is sometimes truthful. Later that afternoon we still ended up on the Dundas and got a nice SD75I leader on 271 at Paris. www.flickr.com/photos/130272127@N07/53344865097/in/photol...
