Beauty can be deceiving: Would you bathe in bleach?
From afar, an abandoned quarry in the English city of Buxton looks like a real piece of paradise. But beauty can be deceiving. In fact, this bright blue water is far from the purest in its properties, and swimming here can lead to dangerous consequences. However, this does not scare away local residents who come here with their families on vacation. Many even climb to swim, despite the warning signs that the clear blue water of the reservoir is similar in its properties to bleach.
