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 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.

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.
