Tim, I must thank you. As a French person constantly surrounded by French-bashing on the Internet, seeing how you, a British man, can be so passionate and positive about France, it does give me hope. Thank you, you are amazing.
I understand how you feel, but bear in mind that often people are just repeating "jokes" with no intention of doing any harm. It's tiring but don't let it affect you, or make you angry, otherwise you'll really become the stereotype they have of the French in their heads.
@@Petitmoi74 Don't worry, I can tell a joke from an insult! Heck, I am the first one happily making jokes about my own country :P . But it's still nice of you to say, thank you.
I do understand. My forebears came to England following the Bastard William's contretemps with King Harold. If William had stayed at home I'd have grown up in a very pleasant Normandy commune instead of surrounded by rosbifs. 😉🤣
Je t'en prie ! Any country where you can have somewhere as stunning as this and it barely makes it into your top 100 tourist attractions, must be doing something right ;)
I didn't know Bonjourbacteria were responsible for the pink colour of salt lakes. That's why I love this channel: you're always learning something new, even when you don't expect it.
Pedantry corner: at one point you showed a picture of the north arm of the Great Salt Lake as an example of a naturally occurring pink lake. The north arm is only pink because a railroad was built through the middle of the lake. The causeway cut-off the north arm from the major rivers, so it withered and became hypersaline. In recent years the state tried increasing the flow of water into the north arm, but then the salty water started flowing south and wrecking havoc on the ecosystem, so they hastily had to improve what they had just done to prevent that.
And now the Salt lake is disappearing... Hopefully the drought ends soon, but if not then farmers will either have to stop using so much water or face all that salt getting into the air and their land.
I laughed at the Twitter dig, but the "bonjour bacteria" joke made me spill my drink (Also, as always, well done on the music throughout for which I guess you reference the last word in "La vie en rose" as colour rather than plant)
tim, I think your ability to speak French has greatly aided this channel - as you cover subjects other English speaking creators might not, on top of that, your one of the best at doing this kind of stuff around. cheers for the visa mate
hi Tim, thank you for the video. Pedantry corner: by the way, Aigues- mortes means "dead waters " in francoprovencal or occitan dialect (and you have the opposite sometimes in places like "Ayguesvives"). This city has a long and very interesting history.
Road tripping with some friends, years ago, from Victoria to South Australia and back, we completely by accident took in a pink lake, along with the famous Blue Lake, and a less well-known Green lake.
I grew up in Adelaide, South Australia and, as a boy, holidayed often at my uncles farm down south on the Coorong (near Salt Creek). Pink lakes galore but many would dry up completely by the height of summer 40+C.🦘🦘🦘
Hearing the QI theme was one of those warm-fuzzy-feeling moments that I love in your videos. It took me a little bit to realize it was the theme but I was already feeling cozy and with a need for a nice cuppa.
I had a good chuckle at the "bonjourbacteria" and the saltiness scale, your videos are always so well made both in information and humor, its a delight to discover new things about my own country through your channel! Loved the La Vie en Rose cover at the beginning as well ;)
Hey Tim, I just want to say that the bonjourbacteria joke really cracked me up! And beacuse this video has in my opinion a really clickabait-y title, I think/hope it will go viral and thereby distributing the joke to lots of other people :D Btw, been in France recently and it is a fabulous country! Tom
Pink water - just in time for the barbie movie! Great video as ever, Tim. Especially loving the Pink Floyd at the end! As a connoisseur of unusual places, do you have anywhere in Luxembourg you could recommend? We are heading that way in August!
Flying into the San Francisco area in California one often passes over the salt ponds that abound in the southern end of the Bay. So I immediately knew that the pink was related to salt. I didn't realize that this could occur naturally, as opposed to industrial processes.
This channel gives early Tom Scott (2012-2014) vibes. I’m all here for it. Keep up the great work @timtraveller. I’d love to buy some merchandise to support the channel, b/c I browse with adblocker.
Tim, if you want to reduce reflections to improve your image, you could use a linear polarization filter. These can be found in fancy photography lenses ... or just in old 3D glasses :) Try rotating them on reflected light and you get the gist of it^^
@@thehaprust6312 ...which is exactly the only kind you'll ever find in movie theater 3D glasses. Hella confusing if you're unaware and expect them to be linear ones.
@@thehaprust6312 To be really precise, the thing that in photography is called a circular polarizing filter is actually a normal linearly polarizing filter plus a quarter-wave plate that turns the linearly polarized light into circularly polarized light. That circularizing quarter-wave plate is there because the phase detection autofocus systems used in reflex camera's doesn't work with polarized light. The linear filter, for reducing glare and reflections and for making the sky a deeper blue, is exactly the same as the one in, well, a linear polarizing filter. If you try to use one in reverse, you'll see it doesn't work, because then the light passes through the circularizer first so the linear polarizer has nothing to work with. Luckily the threading on the filter makes it very obvious which way to use it.
Wow, this is an interesting surprise! I used to go swimming in the Mediterranean very near to this place and have driven past the salt mining place many time
Hey Tim, I've got a place suggestion for you. Should you ever find yourself in America, come to Boston and have a look at the Ashmont-Mattapan High Speed Line. It operates using PCC streetcars that have been in continuous service (and largely unmodified, unlike the SEPTA ones) since 1945-46, and uniquely is not considered a heritage line but rather an important service for the Mattapan neighborhood. As far as I can tell, this makes these streetcars some of the oldest, if not the oldest, passenger rolling stock in regular revenue service. If you want a narrative for a video, you can talk about how while they are quite charming, the reluctance of the MBTA to upgrade the line reflects under-investment in transit in the city's poorest neighborhood.
Great video! always a good day when a tim traveller video comes out also, you should visit belval in the south of luxembourg, it's a city 40 min form the capital, where they tured an ironwork into a city, so, there are still two blast-furnaces incorporated into the city. Would love to see a video on that.
lol at 3:42 - I agree XD I;ve heard of pink lakes before but wasn;t interested enough to look up what's going on. The info in this video is pretty cool and your narration is fun so thank you for making this video!
I live in the San Francisco Bay Area a few miles from some salt ponds. They were used by indigenous people for salt production for a long time until they were scaled up for industrial production during the California Gold Rush. The company that owned them sold the land back to the state in 2003 and there's a long term project to restore the natural wetlands in order to mitigate flood risk. They could be many different colors when viewed by air, but if you drive by them on the Dumbarton Bridge, they're usually just orange-brown.
Side note to the South Bay salt ponds; they used a narrow gauge railroad to harvest the salt ant move it to the processing area. The tracks where moved to the next position as the salt was collected
this video is how i learned flamingos are native to europe. or like, made me think "why is tim acting like flamingos are native to europe. are they actually--" and then i wikipedia'd it. Great jokes as always, and quite informative.
Wow, Two days ago I returned from a visit to Du Grau de Roi which featured on your map. I didn't see any pink lakes, but did see loads of evaporation ponds.
Found Tim about a year ago and eventually got through his back catalog a few weeks ago. Now, just like my favorite band, Tool, I have to just wait until something new comes out. Tool makes me wait over a decade, Tim on the other hand puts out videos more frequently, thankfully !!!
I remember back when the Rhine was pink, and it definitely wasn't for any good reason, so I thought it was the same case for this lake. Never knew naturally pink lakes existed
No joke, I just literally came back from Aigues-Motres and when I was walking on the wall I wondered why the lake was pink. I'm from the Netherlands so it's not around the corner. Thanks for the fun explanation :)
Always enjoy your topical background music selection. This time in particular, did not see the rendition of Saltwater coming. Though it seems obvious in hindsight.
I work within 10 minutes walk of one of the smaller Australian ones. It only turns pink a couple of times throughout summer as the weather in Victoria is unpredictable.
Aigüe mortes and Salins du Midi combo 🎉🎉🎉 Thanks Tim. If you like salt production, go and visit the oposite scale production in Île de Ré, Noirmoutier or Guérande. 3 nice places for having a walk... 😊
Tim, your music in the background is just TOO GOOD - I had to pause and rewind a few times as I kept noticing the music too much to listen to the words!!
Tim, the audio on this is superb from selection to production/performance and mix. Would love to see a behind the scenes vid (particularly what your recently acquired drum vst is, Addictive?). One for your fellow musos, you know you want to!
And "La Vie en Rose", and "Get your party started" by Pink, and "Wish you were here" by Pink Floyd (out of the theme, the QI opening tune. And I don't recognize the tune at 3:00, sounds a bit like "it's my life" by Talk Talk, but it's probably just the same tempo)
I've been to the salt lakes of eastern Spain which were marked on your map, and can confirm that they are not next to mediaeval fortifications. I did see a spoonbill which had been ringed in the Camargue, though.
The saltiness is only topped out by Twitter. 🤣

'La vie en rose' was always about seeing life through rose-tinted glasses, otherwise it would be 'La vie en roses'. Or have I been wrong all my life?
Me over and over watching this: OMG they are taking the musical cues to the next level!
La Vie en Rose... Wish we were there...
To add my grain of salt, Mancini's Pink Panther would have been quite suitable to go along the shrimps and flamingos.
