Diamond Beach (Iceland) 20210716
The Diamond Beach is a strip of black sand belonging to the greater Breiðamerkursandur glacial plain, located by Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon on the South Coast of Iceland.
At the Diamond Beach, the icebergs which fill the Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon wash up on shore, creating a stark contrast with the volcanic black sand. This beautiful display makes it a favorite location for photographers and nature lovers. Wildlife enthusiasts also frequent the site as many seals call the beach home, and it is one of the best places in the country to see orcas from the shore.
The glacier lagoon and Diamond Beach are fantastical sites; however, the rate of their expansion is, unfortunately, a consequence of climate change as the glaciers retreat. With the rate that the caps are melting, there may be no ice left at either site within decades.

My beautiful Bridal Wreath Spirea in my back garden, its branches were filled with tiny rain drops after a light rain. The branches remind me of tiny pretty diamond necklaces, lol =)
These ones will last forever in my memory, for sure! This is another one of the Diamond Beach’s sunrise shots that I’ve taken at this unforgettable spot.
The blueish tones of the icebergs indicate their origin – a glaciar. Blue ice occurs when snow falls on a glacier, is compressed, and becomes part of the glacier. With the glacier's high pressure, air bubbles are squeezed out and ice crystals enlarge, making the ice appear blue. Darker blue indicates “older” ice, which was subject to higher compression.
Here, huge blocks of ice calved from the glacier and floated into a lagoon ("Glacier Lagoon"). From there the icebergs kept floating towards the Atlantic ocean, where some of them got washed ashore and sparkle on the black beach like diamonds, after having been polished by the waves. Thus, the beach designation: Diamond Beach.

Carried in on the night surf and now strewn across the black sands of Diamond Beach, shattered pieces of icebergs glisten like diamonds in the chilly morning light.
Diamond Beach, Iceland. Visited with Skylum's first ever photo tour as it celebrates the release of its new Luminar 4.
The view from Diamond Hill across Ballinakill Harbour. Ideally would have gone later but didn't want to be coming down in gloom, the wind was scary enough. It never feels like the rocks are far below the surface in Connemara.

Diamond Beach - The so-called "Diamond Beach" on Iceland's southern coast is a black sand beach where chunks of glaciers from the Jökulsárlón glacier lagoon wash out to sea.
Shot at Diamond Beach, Iceland on a sunny day during afternoon. the Sun really was in the ice, No lightning source used.
Chicago Transit Authority car No. 3450 is clattering across the diamonds on the elevated “L” rapid transit railway above Lake and Wells Street on November 8, 2018. This junction is still considered one of the busiest railroad crossings in the world.
Diamond painting is a great way to spend time during lock down. Be aware, it is addictive.
Diamond painting is a combination of cross-stitch and paint-by-numbers. "You use an applicator to apply hundreds of tiny sparkling resin rhinestones, one-by-one, on an adhesive color-coded canvas painting," she explains. The end result is a vivid, shimmering work of art.
This is one I finished yesterday.
The Diamond T Motor Car Company was founded in Chicago in 1905 by C. A. Tilt. Reportedly, the company name was created when Tilt’s shoe-making father fashioned a logo featuring a big “T” (for Tilt) framed by a diamond, which signified high quality.[1] The company's hood emblem on trucks was a sled dog in harness. From its beginnings manufacturing touring cars, the company later became known for its trucks. By 1967, as a subsidiary of White Motor Corporation, it was merged with Reo Motor Company to become Diamond Reo Trucks, Inc.[2]
During World War II, Diamond T produced a prototype of a heavy truck in the 980/981, a prime mover which was adapted and quickly acquired by the British Purchasing Commission for duty as a tank transporter tractor. Coupled with a Rogers trailer, the truck gave sterling service with the British Army in North Africa Campaign, where its power and rugged construction allowed the rescue of damaged tanks in the most demanding of conditions.[3] [citation needed] In addition Diamond T built the entire range of the G509 series 4 ton 6X6s, including cargo, dump, semi tractor, and wrecker trucks,[4] as well as some lighter trucks, and even G7102 half tracks.[5] Diamond T ranked 47th among United States corporations in the value of World War II military production contracts.[6] Diamond T manufactured three pickup trucks: The Model 80,201 and the Model 202. The pickups were powered by the Hercules QX-series 6-cylinder engines. The model 80 was produced from 1936 to 1938 and the Model 201 was produced from 1938 to 1949.
Commercial models
1928–1929 brought major mechanical improvements across the entire range. A closed cab with doors was introduced. All-wheel hydraulic drum brakes were used. Six-cylinder engines were available from Continental and Hercules for heavy trucks and a four-cylinder Buda powered light trucks. All trucks had geared-differential rear axles. By 1929 there were chassis load ratings (the weight of the body and payload) up to 12 tons (10,900 kg) on three axles.
1933–1935 In 1933 a new all-steel covered cab with doors and roll-up windows was introduced. In a 1935 model year style change it had been improved with a "streamlined" V-style windshield. This cab would be used on commercial and military trucks until replaced in 1951. In 1935 the trucks were also improved mechanically and new models were introduced. They developed through the rest of the 1930s. In 1935, Diamond T sold 6454 units and in 1936 it increased to 8750 trucks [8]. In 1938, Diamond T sold 4393 units and in 1939 it increased to 5412 trucks [9]. In 1940 Hercules six-cylinder gasoline and diesel engines up to 118 horsepower (88 kW) were used and Cummins diesels up to 200 horsepower (150 kW) were introduced in 1940.
1940–1942 In 1940 Hercules six-cylinder gasoline and diesel engines up to 118 horsepower (88 kW) were used and Cummins diesels up to 200 horsepower (150 kW) were introduced. In 1942 improved models went into production and then stopped after only 530 units for military production of tactical trucks and half-tracks.
1946–1947 Production of commercial trucks was stopped for military production in 1942. A small number of commercial trucks began to be built in 1944 and more in 1945. In 1946, the first year of full commercial production, there were five models, in 1947 there were fourteen. After World War II heavy trucks were measured by Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR), the total weight of the chassis, body, and payload. In 1947 there were chassis rated from 8,000 pounds (3,600 kg) to 36,000 pounds (16,000 kg) with conventional, sleeper, and COE models. Annual model changes were discontinued and many models continued unchanged until 1950. Gasoline and diesel engines were offered by Continental, Cummins, and Hercules. Single and tandem rear axles were available in many wheelbases.

A well lit morning eastbound down the CN Holly sub isn't that common but on this morning a later running CN 450 with a pair of BNSF units up front roll through the Historic town of Holly. The C&O signals on both the LSRC side of the diamond and on the south of the CN holly sub, the former depot and the tower still standing offer a lot of classic shots in town that show little change over the years.
Sunrise on the longest day of the year hits the eastern face of Longs Peak (Arapaho: Neníisótoyóú’u; 14,259'/ 4346 m), casting few shadows on the summer solstice. Scattered pockets of new snow lie on the peak from a storm that blew through on the previous day. The trail to Chasm Lake and the Boulderfield is visible in the lower right quadrant.
The sheer wall of the Diamond shows up well in this view from the slopes of Twin Sisters Peak. The Diamond face is almost 1000' (300 m) high, and is slightly overhung. It is one of the most challenging climbs in Colorado, though is popular enough that climbers may line up at the bottom to start the climb during peak season.
Longs Peak is named for Stephen Long, who lead an expedition to the area in 1820. The first recorded climb was by John Wesley Powell's surveying party in 1868.

As we took the ferry back from the zoo to Circular Quay we got a good look at Diamond Princess, which was anchored in Sydney Harbour.
Diamond Princess is a British-registered cruise ship owned and operated by Princess Cruises. She began operation in March 2004 and primarily cruises in Asia during the northern hemisphere summer and Australia during the southern hemisphere summer. She is a subclassed Grand-class ship, which is also known as a Gem-class ship. Diamond Princess and her sister ship, Sapphire Princess, are the widest subclass of Grand-class ships, as they have a 37.5-metre (123 ft 0 in) beam, while all other Grand-class ships have a beam of 36 metres (118 ft 1 in). Diamond Princess and Sapphire Princess were both built in Nagasaki, Japan, by Mitsubishi Industries.
A view across Diamond Lake towards End Peak (2100m). The Treble Cone ski fields would be on the right but off the picture. This is within the Diamond Lake conservation area near Wanaka. I got lucky that the slight breeze dropped long enough for the slight ripple to flatten to an almost mirror like surface. I took a 5 sec exposure to get rid of the last bit of ripple. From this lake the track continues up to Rocky Mountain. There is a track you can walk right around this lake which only takes 15-20 mins.
Single frame views of Kylemore Abbey and the Atlantic coast from the summit of Diamond Hill, County Galway, Ireland. A moderate day hike under windy conditions, the panoramic version will be uploaded next. Happy weekend to everyone.
Icebergs calve from the nearby Breiðamerkurjökull glacier and float in tidal waters to sea, then wash back again in the surf to land on the beach. Here at dawn, waves swirl around icebergs that glitter as the sun rises. The black sand beach is strewn with large chunks of ice that, in the sun, glow like diamonds.

Usually photographed from the Honolulu side, this view of Diamond Head looked quite different to me - so different, in fact, that I actually asked another guest if it was Diamond Head. He assured me it was, not quite hiding a smile.
I took this shot from a seventh floor balcony at the Kahala Hotel, looking westward. The image was kind of hazy, so it was a fine candidate for Sunday sliding. I used Jixipix moku hanga, trying for a tapa/barkcloth/kapa look.
