Afternoon at the Blue Lagoon 


Drove by the Blue Lagoon this afternoon. The autumn sun was low and created sharp shadows on the lava.

Original size for details :o)

The Blue Lagoon is a lagoon of geothermal seawater, rich in minerals, silica and algae - see The Blue Lagoon's website.

Stunning - again!! ;-))

I've heard of "Midnight at the Lost and Found" so "Afternoon at the Blue Lagoon" works well ... !! :-D

Great how the water mirrors the sky - in more than just a reflection. So pure ...

Pixiepro replies:
It works really well! :o) Thank you so much Nigel... this is a very special place and great for bathing (but of course it is very expensive too since it is a major tourist attraction!)

sigh, it makes such a wonderful picture, you've created here, the salt(?) on the bottom of the rock and the small clouds on top, looks like a mirror ... and the watercolor is amazing.
Posted 2 months ago. ( permalink )
Pixiepro replies:
Thank you nanny :o) The "salt" is made of minerals, silica and algae and the "small clouds" are steam from the power plant... The Blue Lagoon is an amazing place :o)

Such a great & mysterious place!
I'll look at the website...
