The full view of Diamond Head taken from Round Top.
Diamond Head is the name of a volcanic tuff cone on the Hawaiian island of Oʻahu and known to Hawaiians as Lēʻahi, most likely from lae 'browridge, promontory' plus ʻahi 'tuna' because the shape of the ridgeline resembles the shape of a tuna's dorsal fin.
Its English name was given by British sailors in the 19th century, who mistook calcite crystals on the adjacent beach for diamonds.
Well once again, working on location has presented me with challenges WRT subject matter and lighting. Marybeth had to come to my rescue with just about the only stone worth photographing at my son's house other than the run of the mill wall and landscaping rock/stones one would find in New Mexico. I did consider some nice river stone that almost made a solo shot. The diamond ring wound up sitting on one. As for size, ha, no worries there, it just made it under the three inches. Marybeth has really big fingers. lol.

I changed the color into to green, inspired by springtime ;-))

A natural sculpture on a place called diamond beach in Iceland. The ice falls off the glacier into the glacier lake, a short river brings the ice into the sea and finally the waves throw the ice on diamond beach.
Jökulsárlón sits south of Vatnajökull, Europe's largest glacier. Vatnajökull which, with its surrounding area, form Iceland's largest national park, and the second largest in Europe.
Huge blocks of ice calve from the glacier and those icebergs float into a lagoon ("Glacier Lagoon"). From there they keep floating towards the Atlantic ocean, where some of them get washed ashore and sparkle on the black beach like diamonds, after having been polished by the waves. Thus, the beach designation: Diamond Beach.
This photo was taken at sunrise, on a glorious day, with beautiful weather (finally, as the two previous days had been terrible, a total loss...). When I've arrived to the beach a couple of hours before sunrise, seals were easily seen in the water, looking for their morning's meal... And when the sun rose in the sky, well, the least we can say is that it was monumental! This place is utterly beautiful and will remain always in my memories as being the most extraordinary spot I've been in that marvellous trip to Iceland.

The Diamond Firetail Finch is a highly social bird and enjoys living in pairs or small groups. They are known for their cheerful chirping and are active and playful birds that love to explore their environment. They are also intelligent birds and when kept as pets can be trained to perform simple tricks.
Ice "diamonds" glistening on the black beach...
The Diamond beach is by Jökulsárlón glacial lagoon in southeast Iceland.
The lagoon belongs to the Vatnajökull glacier national park. The glacier's name is Breiðamerkurjökull glacier, and huge blocks of ice (more than 1000-year-old) are continually breaking from it and large chunks of iceberg float in the lagoon.

Gleich neben der berühmten Jökulsarlon-Gletscherlagune findet sich der schwarze Vulkansandstrand, wo die Eisberge aus der Lagune an Land treiben und einen magischen Ort erschaffen. Die blauen, schwarzen, weißen und durchsichtigen Eisberge liegen am Strand und schmelzen langsam. Ein faszinierender Ort....
Die Eisberge kommen direkt aus einem Gletscher, dem Breidamerkurjokull, ein Ausläufer von Europas größtem Gletscher Vatnajökull.
Der Gletschersee diente bereits als Schauplatz für bekannte Filmproduktionen wie James Bond-Stirb an einem anderen Tag, James Bond 007-Im Angesicht des Todes, Tomb Raider, Beowulf & Grendel und Batman Begins.

One of the major highlights of my photography workshop to Iceland was the 3 days we spent photographing icebergs at the Jokulsarlon Lagoon (Diamond Beach). The diamonds on the black sand beach are in the form of growler, small small icebergs that wash up onto the beach from the surrounding ocean.
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.
