Freshwater Lake in Lençóis Maranhenses (MA)
National Park Lençóis Maranhenses is located at about 275 km east from São Luís, capital of the Brazilian state of Maranhão. The immense dune landscape measures no less than 155 thousand hectares. During the raining season, water accumulates in numerous little freshwater lakes, spread over the park. From July, when the raining season is over, water evaporates within a few months. The best time to visit these lakes is between July and September. Most of these lakes contain crystal clear, lukewarm water, ideal for bathing. A minority of these lakes contain plants, and even fish.
The picture is composed of five separate photographs, which were taken with a Canon Powershot A540. The original size of this composition is 4510×1083 pixels. That day, the camera was covered with plastic foil, in order to prevent penetration of fine sand grains. The image had to be corrected for the distortion caused by the plastic.
The original picture was taken in July 2007.
