I would say that gives a definitive answer and a fair range of colours from which to choose.

How I would love to be aboard the yacht in that last picture......
It could well be but it’s the setting and the clear water that I love.
hello Gentlemen
A thread about holiday pictures? :)
I think its is all a question of the refraction of light, water deepth, soil texture. From a large height, for example when parachute, the whole thing looks different again. The same goes for scuba diving.

I am sure that you are totally right Marco.
I am just astounded that surrounded by sea those Ancient Greeks did not take a bit more effort to describe the many and varied hues. After all they wax lyrical about most other things.

Whatever the reason, all better than Cleethorpes
Don't know Bill never been to either. How about Swanage and Chapel St Leonards, I have been to both of those.

I understand in Torquay you can see herds of Wildebeest sweeping majestically over the horizon...

At Swanage you can see the Ferry!

From Milford-On-Sea you can see Hurst Castle...I once saw a shark swimming just off the beach there. No wonder I didn’t catch any fish that day.
Ah yes! Hurst Castle brings back a few re-enacting memories Steve.

For a couple of years I lived in an apartment on the High St, just a few dozen yards from the Smugglers Inn pub
