This is two of the upper lakes in Plitvice Lakes National Park (Plitvicka Jezera Nacionaini Park), Croatia (Hrvatske).
With 16 named lakes and many smaller lakes and pools, this unique river system was created by natural processes. Due to the high mineral content of the water, dams formed that create the lakes as they travel down a steep valley and gorge. There are 12 upper lakes, 4 lower lakes and thousands of waterfalls many of which are spectacular. It has been designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site.
And a Haiku in thanks for your comments and views. Cheers.
Weary 'Greenland sailors'
Bleeding into the blue
Of reflected azure skies.
During the height of the iceberg season last year it was a great time for captures. Near St.John's, NL.
The 7 distinct colours are red, brown, violet, green, blue, purple and yellow. (The photo only shows part of the dunes).
Unique to this dunes, situated in Chamarel (Mauritius), is that the colours never mix. No matter how hard it rains or blows, the colour of the layers does not change. Geologists are not yet sure how this coloured earth in Mauritius continues to sort itself by colour. They also don't know how the colours came about, but it is thought that it has to do with the cooling (at different temperatures) of the volcanic rock.
Reportedly there is no site like this anywhere else in the world.
This is the Big Waterfall (Veliki Slap) in Plitvice Lakes National Park (Plitvicka Jezera Nacionaini Park, Croatia (Hrvatske).

This was quite a blustery afternoon on the Withernsea coastline with the wind whipping spray off the waves of the incoming tide
Hopefully will be able to visit these shores again very soon. It is the month that the camp site opens up
Interesting cloud formations looking west across the Trent Valley this afternoon.

Brief visit to Silica nature reserve, birches have turned but still 2 or 3 weeks to the rich reds to show
Utah is famous for its iconic landscapes, and many people flock to the national and state parks. The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) manages nearly 22.8 million acres (9,226,840 hectares) of public lands in Utah, representing about 42 percent of the state!
I love to explore that 42 percent and find small hidden gems that are unique.
GPS is not the exact spot of the shot.
Bit late for the autumn reds but still plenty of golden colour about at Silica country park, Scunthorpe
Sunset last gave me the pleasure of seeing the phenomenon called the green flash (the bit at the top of the sun)
I’ve tried many times in the past to see this but failed.
One off the photo bucket list 😀
My interpretation...taken near dusk. This little bit of rocky heaven is actually a relatively unremarkable part of the spectacularly convoluted Canyonlands area that has been carved out by frequent flooding into the Colorado River. But after looking twice twice, it caught my imagination...I realized that in other contexts this hardly discernible scene would be a knockout. So I wanted to make that happen.
