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.

The Black Diamond is an extension to the Royal Danish Library in Copenhagen, Denmark. It was drawn by the Schmidt Hammer Lassen Architects in 1993 and stood completed in 1999. For more information, visit The Black Diamond.
Incredibly, although I have lived in Copenhagen all my life, I have never visited this architectural gem, which I think is a fitting term for its name. The shots were taken handheld from the bridge at the top level of the building's concourse. I wanted to freeze all motion as much as possible but also get as much as possible in focus so I went for a higher ISO. In hindsight I think I went overboard with the ISO setting and hence the shutter speed but still, the shots did come out ok I think. I have experimented with a few versions of the two different shots. I can't quite decide which ones i like the most, but I am leaning towards the B&W ones.
What do you think?
One more thing: I tried to use a polarizer to reduce the glare from the glass but when I did so I got a weird blue-ish effect on the windows to the outside. Could this be because they have some sort of coating to keep out heat / keep in heat?

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.

Constructed 1866-1868 by Mr John Hearne using brown stones and white quartz from Church Hill directly opposite.
Der sagenumwobene Diamant wurde in Hamburg von Tom und mir an der Elbe gefunden. Erst machten wir die Fotos.
Mit zittrigen Händen nahm Tom ihn auf und wir freuten uns über den unermesslichen Reichtum.
Leider ist alles vergänglich, doch der Traum lebt weiter.

The legendary diamond was found in Hamburg by Tom and me on the River Elbe. First we took the photos. With trembling hands, Tom picked it up and we rejoiced at our immeasurable wealth.Unfortunately, everything is fleeting, but the dream lives on.
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.

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.
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.

A tiny world suspended in crystal clarity. The familiar globe of a dandelion seed head is transformed by a morning mist, each silky parachute adorned with a perfect bead of water. Against the deep, rich blue, these droplets catch the light like a scattering of diamonds, promising new life and wishes on the wind. It’s a moment of delicate, fragile beauty captured just before the breeze arrives.

Extra quote from me.
Keep smiling everyone!
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.
