Sky of blue, and sea of green
Posted by dobbino (Cape Town, South Africa) on 18 December 2008 in Miscellaneous and Portfolio.
This is a tiny island named Meeurots (Gull rock) and can be seen from Yserfontein. It's a 13 metre (approx 42-43 feet) high rocky islet, which offers a safe perching spot for thousands of cormorants and gulls. What caught my eye was the colour - the mist was coming in and gave the sky that softish blue tone, while the turquoise-green sea was just brilliant.
I've used these lyrics before in a write-up on one of my images, but not as a title, and it just fits so perfectly for this one that I had to use them again.
Title from the words in the song "Yellow Submarine" by The Beatles
All comments, and especially constructive criticism is truly appreciated. Thank you for taking the time.
