Criss Cross Hutt Lagoon

Criss Cross Hutt Lagoon

Introducing “Criss Cross Hutt Lagoon”, an exquisite piece from Monaghan’s Mid West Collection. This fascinating aerial shot is the epitome of Australian landscape photography, capturing the stunning hues of Hutt Lagoon in Western Australia’s Mid West region.

This captivating piece, shot by the internationally renowned landscape photographer Karl Monaghan, portrays the ethereal beauty of Hutt Lagoon, often referred to as the Pink Lake. It is a marine salt lake located near the Indian Ocean coast, approximately 2 kilometres north of the mouth of the Hutt River. The lagoon spans around 70 square kilometres, with most of its area lying a few metres below sea level.

The photograph’s title, “Criss Cross Hutt Lagoon,” hints at the artistic and abstract nature of the image. The bird’s-eye view, often used in fine art photography, creates a sense of depth and vastness that is rarely seen in photographs of landscapes. The intricate network of man-made embankments that divide the vibrant shades of the lake transform the image into a beautiful landscape photograph that could easily be mistaken for an abstract painting. It’s a truly fascinating portrayal of the symbiosis between human activities and natural landscapes.

Notably, the pumping stations at the intersections of the settling ponds, which are used to farm Dunaliella salina, add a unique touch to the image. These microalgae, a source of β-carotene and a food-colouring agent, are what give Hutt Lagoon its distinctive pink colour, making for a truly mesmerizing Australian landscape photography.
