Water Water Water

We love water. If we had our way, we want to be beach bums.  Was looking at the Picasa albums of our previous vacations.  Thought I would share a few pictures we took during our vacations.  More later.  These are at random and not in any particular order.

Hanauma Bay, Honolulu, Hawaii

Mazatlan Beach, Mexico


Muttom Beach, Tamil Nadu, India


San Francisco Bay

Venice, Italy


Cabo San Lucas Beach, Mexico

  11. Thanks for your comments Chitra. Muttom is located between Nagarkoil and Kanyakumari. The entire movie "Kadalora Kavidhaigal", starring Satyaraj and Rekha, was shot here.

  13. I wonder why are some waters more blue than others. Same way, some beach sands are more white than others? These things are natural or any artificial coloring were induced?

  15. Thanks for your comments Rajesh. You asked a few intelligent questions. As I said, me and science are far apart. Therefore, I asked my friend, Mr. Know It All, The Cagey Bee/Who Posted This. He gave this answer:

    The color of the ocean/sea changes due to sediment in the water, depth, temperature, sunlight effectiveness, and the ocean bed.

    Sand comes from broken down rocks, so if there are different rocks then the sand will end up being different colors, along with the things and creatures in the sand.

  17. Lovely pictures SG!!!

    I also love water a lot - be it riverfronts,beaches, lakes or ponds. There is something mystical about them which draws me to them!!

    And the fact that I have had near death experiences thrice near them does not deter me at all!! :D

  21. Beautiful pictures. Though I am more of a moutain person, I love the sound of the sea. It is unfortunate that we in India have such dirty beaches. I have been to Hawaii and I was amazed by the cleanliness of the beaches there!

  23. beautiful pics .. reminds me of my days in Cape Town .. with very similar beaches..

  24. Most of the people prefer seaside for great vacation times. Right now Goa is in good season and people are flocking.

    Lovely photographs. I am sure Honolulu beach was a wonderful experience with cliffs over looking the sea.

    But in the photographs, Muttom each looks equally good.
