Molting (changing feathers) time for penguins may take days or longer but these Adelie penguins seemed happy against the blue backdrop of an iceberg which shielded them from the strong winds. Taken from a zodiac.
While suffering from Monday blues, this icy blue composition with glacial reflection included serves as a pick-up.
A not so common clear blue sky in Greenland, blue ice and blue water with a cumulus type iceberg remnant make for a postcard vista.
From the sea level dining room of our ship, we had a first hand opportunity to experience again the roller coster ride through the Drake Passage as we made our way to the Antarctic peninsular.
In Greenland's frigid high arctic around the settlement of Savissivik, icebergs flow into Baffin Bay. One would be foolish to try to pass through this blue archway as you never know when the iceberg might split or turn.
Near Disko Island, these over 50 meter high iceberg towers were inexorably breaking apart, although they now appeared to be sitting on an ice platform.Taken from a zodiac
Why glacier ice is blue has a simple geological explanation. You can look it up, I just love to see it.
Blue boats reflected in the blue waters of the Mediterranean in the town of Cambrils in southern Catalunya.
A surreal reflective shot of the sky in the sea offset by chunks of pack ice somewhere in Canada's northwest passage.
The blues of the world's oceans may vary in intensity. One thing they do have in common is their beauty, which may be magnified by the reflection of the sun and the movement of waves.
The artistry of the sea knows no bounds. I love admiring sea diamonds, pastel colors, sun reflections, etc. I miss being at sea. Hopefully soon we all will be able to enjoy these wonders up close again.
A variety of blues from the sea to the glacier to the sky are one of the delights of a summer like day in Greenland's arctic regions. In the middle you can see the spout from several whales.
"... that not only the weekend but even summer is already over again?"
Have a happy 'Blue Monday' anyway!
Hyacinth macaws / Hyazinth-Aras (Anodorhynchus hyacinthinus)
close to Pousada Piuval, Pantanal, MT, Brazil
In the turquoise blue waters of Australia's Great Barrier Reef, reflections, patterns and wave action produced a magical combination of blue hues.
Just time to post a new one for today as I am hospital bound for more tests. Will try to catch up upon my return. Have a fun day, Peeps :-)
Playing with the blue water background, add some clouds on a sunny day to the reflections of nearby objects in coastal waters and you have a delightful repeating irregular pattern.
My opinion only of course.
I thought internet was back but it was in & out all day. I think it is finally back. I whisper this.....
An aerial vista in pastel blue hues of the swirling current of the Indian Ocean off the western coast of Australia near Broome.
The waves agitated by the motion of our ship revealed a light blue hue in contrast to the deep blue of the surrounding surface.
The sun spotlighted the crest of a wave, dividing the sea diagonally in nearly equal upper and lower portions.

Last week I posted images I took of the ice sculptures clinging to reeds in a lake nearby. We went back there after a snowfall and this is what the reeds looked like this time.
