Good evening folks. For tonight's Daily Nature Fix, we're going to have one of my favorite things: blue water. This won't come as a surprise to most of my longtime followers, as I've carried on about it many times before. I love seeing blue in nature. Aside from the sky, it's a color I pretty much never saw in the natural world for the first 25ish years of my life. Living in the middle of Pennsylvania, none of the water we see is blue. It's aways a cloudy brownish green due to the algae, mud, and well... mining pollution. Even the beaches on the east coast have greenish, cloudy water. That's a far cry from the ocean water we saw off the coast of the Portuguese archipelago known as the Azores!
I've seen blue water many times since I began traveling, but most of the time its a deep, rich, royal blue. This was the first time I've seen it look like a baby blue color (aside from glacial water). I'm assuming it looked lighter because there was so much micro air bubbles within the water from the choppy waves that were crashing in to the black volcanic rock.
Regardless of the difference in colors, it was surely beautiful to see. Actually, not far from where I took these photos, there was an area where hot, volcano-heated water leaked through the cracks and we swam in a lukewarm section of the sea!
