Of crystalline blue
The ocean hopes for grey skies
With a clear conscience
It can’t be helped. This sort of scene captures you and the amazing colors make you want to jump in and swim about.
Thankfully a morbid fear of sharks put me off but I did get this rather luscious shot.
A wise man once said “Never turn your back on the sea.”
With a view like this how could you?

Perfect haiku, you are very good at them! And the photo is excellent, lovely variation and depth of colour. Spectacular.

That is such a stunning scene you captured, TJ. The colors are so eye-catching. Loved you haiku. Very creative way to have the ocean say, “Let it Rain…”

Interesting shapes at the bottom of the sea. Must be a real sight to behold in person. Beautiful picture and haiku.

Thanks so much. The island is limestone and the ocean around is filled with these lovely varying levels of rock. It is a really beautiful place to go. Best wishes! TJ

Aran is limestone also but our shoreline is not as interesting (or as visible). Take care. ☺

Love the image! You’re right, who could turn away from that view? I share your fear of sharks and in south Florida your chances of getting bit by one is much greater. However, I still swim at the beach––can’t help myself. You definitely captured the beauty of the bay. Love the haiku too. 🙂

Thank you so much Vashti! I can’t help swimming too! I know so many Aussies who live near the beach but will only swim in the pools in their backyards. It is a great waste. So delighted you liked the haiku. Hope you have a wonderful weekend! TJ

I, for one, am grateful you have a fear of sharks… that means we get more beautiful haiku and photographs! That is one awe-inspiring view. I could take a few years of life to gaze upon this sight!

Thanks so much for the lovely compliment. I am lucky to live near such a beautiful place. I am ashamed to say that I do not go there as often as I should for inspiration. Hope you have a richly hued week! TJ
