Asphalt lake
Asphalt lake. Recovered asphalt being loaded into a truck, which will take it away for processing. On the left is a digger recovering asphalt from the surface of the lake. The vehicles can drive on the lakes asphalt surface for a few hours in the morning, before it begins to melt in the sun. Sir Walter Raleigh is credited with discovering this lake in 1595, which is the largest deposit of asphalt in the world. It covers a surface area of approximately 360, 000 square metres. Asphalt is a semi-solid substance composed of bitumen and other inert mineral matter, which is used in road-surfacing. Photographed at La Brea, Trinidad

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mesmerizing sight of an Asphalt lake in La Brea, Trinidad. The image showcases a truck being loaded with recovered asphalt, ready to be transported for processing. On the left side of the frame, a digger can be seen diligently recovering asphalt from the surface of this unique lake. The extraordinary aspect of this natural wonder lies in its fleeting nature. In the morning hours, vehicles are able to drive on the solidified asphalt surface before it succumbs to the scorching sun and begins to melt away. It is said that Sir Walter Raleigh discovered this remarkable lake back in 1595 and it remains today as the largest deposit of asphalt worldwide, covering an expansive area spanning approximately 360,000 square meters. Asphalt itself is a semi-solid substance composed primarily of bitumen along with other inert mineral matter. This vital material finds extensive use in road-surfacing applications around the globe. The photograph beautifully showcases both industrial and tropical elements within its composition - representing not only an important resource but also highlighting Trinidad's position within the Caribbean region known as West Indies. With channels resembling waterways crisscrossing through this fascinating landscape and diggers tirelessly at work recovering valuable deposits, this image serves as a testament to human ingenuity harnessing Earth's resources for practical purposes while capturing nature's awe-inspiring beauty simultaneously.
