I wonder how many were moved by the sheer majesty of the moment and started making out like horny high schoolers. That does look like a romantic boat ride.

They're dammed by natural formations of travertine rock. I saw them in 1978 and found it hard to believe that the dams weren't somehow man-made.

Band-e Amir National Park (Persian: بند امیر‎ a national park located in the Bamyan Province of central Afghanistan. It is a series of six deep blue lakes separated by natural dams made of travertine, a mineral deposit. The lakes are situated in the Hindu Kush mountains at approximately 3000 m of elevation, west of the famous Buddhas of Bamiyan.

Brings back memories as a child riding in the swan boats at the Boston Public Garden. But my mother was very strict, she would say, "No, you can not bring your RPG.".
