Nassau Bahamas Waters 12-21-2013
Looking out over the coastal waters near Nassau, Bahamas delivers an immediate punch of tropical color that feels completely surreal in person. Shooting from an elevated deck on a clear morning allowed the camera to pick up the dramatic transition between shallow reef flats, sandy shoals, and deep open sea.
Bright crystalline turquoise and aquamarine water fills the foreground before dropping into rich cobalt blue in the deeper channels beyond. Along the horizon, a narrow strip of white sand beach and vibrant green palm trees sits under a pale blue sky dotted with gentle tropical clouds, completing the paradise view.
