$\begingroup$ This is of course correct. Great investigation! How did you find this location from my photo? $\endgroup$

$\begingroup$ @DmitryKamenetsky What I tried... You can see a lake with a dam and you originally mentioned in the comments (@bobble put it into the question) that this photo is from Australia. So, I checked the list of dams and reservoirs in Australia and tried to match the shape of the lake where there are quite a few. I first checked those with "arch"... but unfortunately some of the dams don't have an entry in "type". I gave up since Birjolaxew was faster. $\endgroup$

$\begingroup$ @DmitryKamenetsky I fairly quickly found similar lines by looking at satellite images of Tasmania, which confirmed that it was powerlines. I originally thought it was only done in Tasmania, which caused me to waste way too much time trying to find a lake with a similar shape there. On the upside I also googled my way to AEMO's map in the ~30 mins I spent on Tasmania. When I switched focus to mainland Australia it took ~5 minutes to find the lake :) Fun challenge! $\endgroup$

$\begingroup$ Truly amazing work. I grew up in Tasmania, but never noticed this. $\endgroup$
