Close up of blood pools in France

A lake in Camargue (France) with bloody red water, is an attractive place for tourists all over the world.

Photographer Sam Dobson, from Moscow (Russia) recorded stunning images of the "blood" lake in Camargue in southern France. The water of this lake is very strange red because of the high salt content of the lake.

"From a distance, the lake is very beautiful, but as it gets closer it becomes even more amazing. You can find salt crystals all over the lake," said the 51-year-old photographer.

White salt crystals cling to dry branches on a red lake background that creates a setting like in an alien science-fiction film.

Here are some stunning photos of the "blood" lake through Sam Dobson's photographer lens:
