A monumental reading came from the Colorado River at Horseshoe Bend, its dramatic meander and red rock framing a panoramic landscape. Others kept it small: bright blue fish with yellow tails swam among coral at Manava Resort, Moorea, and pale green reeds rose from extremely still, clear water.

Young, pale green reeds protrude sporadically from an extremely still and clear water surface. A blurred, dark branch extends into the picture from the right, creating a sense of depth. The deep, emerald-green water reflects the surrounding vegetation, creating a mystical atmosphere. The precise, vertical reflections of the stalks emphasise the absolute stillness of the scene.

Neversink Reservoir Completed in 1955 to provide water for New York City. The Neversink River flowing through the valley was a great attraction for fishermen and flytiers. This valley was settled over 200 years ago. Villages of Neversink and Bittersweet lie beneath these waters. There were farms, a sawmill, a casino, a bowling alley, general stores, boarding houses, churches, schools, and more here.

Shallow water with large brown coral photographed underwater. There are small bright blue fish with yellow tails and a couple of red fish swimming all around. The water above the coral is a beautiful turquoise. Small brown sea plants float at the surface. The coral is reflected on the surface of the water.

Looking down the side of a cruise ship at the ocean water below which is frothy and churning from the ships propellers and movement. There are a wide range of teal/aqua colors from white to deep teal broken which file the bulk of the frame. Some of the froth and waves are in focus, other areas are more ephemeral and blurry.

Morning comes quietly to Bowman Lake, gathering first along the distant mountain passes where the eastern sky burns amber and gold. Above it, great banks of cloud drift across the heavens in shades of rose, violet, and dusky blue, their lower edges touched with fire by the rising sun. The mountains remain almost wholly in shadow, rising one beyond another in deep blue ranks, their rugged walls enclosing the long lake and leading the eye toward the glowing center of the dawn. Along the shore the forest stands dark and unbroken, every tree joined into the deep silhouette of the wilderness. Below, Bowman Lake lies wonderfully still, receiving the whole spectacle upon its polished surface. The orange sky appears again in the water, broad and luminous, while the reflected mountains descend into darkness around it. Only the smallest ripples disturb the image, drawing faint lines through the gold. There is something grand in such a morning, when mountain, forest, cloud, and water seem gathered into one harmonious wilderness. The coming sun has not yet reached the slopes or awakened the colors of the woods; it announces itself only through the radiant sky beyond the peaks. For these few moments the mountains belong to shadow and the lake to light, and Bowman holds the dawn as calmly as though this splendid rising of the day were meant for the wilderness alone.

A black and white photo looking across the beach towards the sea at Crosby. The wet sand is glistening in the bright sunshine. In the distance several people can be seen at the water's edge. On the right a couple are stood facing each other in the shallow water and are silhouettes with sunlight behind them. The couple's reflection can be seen in the tidal pool below

Square black and white photo of a grey seal in the sea. You can only see its head sticking out above the wave it is riding. It is staring right at you, inquisitively. Looks like it’s trying to figure you out. All around the seal are the rippled sea waters of the North Sea, moving in contrasting shades of black and grey

A other canal with a bit algae and reflections from the white dot clouds in the distance. The trees on the right are reflected in the water. What you can't see is that the water levels is going very low because of the drought.

Seal in the water at Ytri‑Tunga Beach - looking straight into the camera. There's also seaweed visible on the water surface in front of and behind the seal.

Today's theme is . Most of my images feature water. Many of them, the crystal clear waters of springs. It's like swimming in an aquarium. There's nothing else l
