The recordings show a natural phenomenon, as Derry Moroney explains.
The amateur photographer lives in Brooms Head - and presents many pictures of landscapes and animals on Instagram and Facebook.
"The water is soaked in tea tree oil, hence the brown color," says Moroney.
And the water that flows out of the lake has created the gullies and branches - "a breathtaking masterpiece of nature".

The photos of the “tree of life,” as Moroney calls the pattern, were taken with the help of a drone.
The color of the water obviously changes depending on the weather.

"With our pristine beaches and Yuraygir National Park on my doorstep, I really didn't have to travel far," Moroney told the British Guardian about his hobby.
