Favorites in Aquamarine – From my Travels
Who doesn’t love aquamarine? Not me, but it’s in short supply here in the Pacific Northwest during the rainy winter months.
So for this week’s Sunday Stills Challenge, # Aquamarine I went looking in my archives and found it in my travels.
I’ll start with the Canadian Rockies.
Can you name this lake? She’s famous, one of the most beaufiful in the world.
Lake Louise
Moraine Lake
Not far from Lake Louise, Moraine Lake is just as beautiful, maybe more so, I never could decide.
Perhaps I need another visit to Alberta, Canada!
Big Sur
Further south in the Lower 48, is Big Sur, California. It’s hard to find a better road trip than this beautiful coastline.
And while you’re there, be sure to stop and stretch your legs,
for a peek at Pfeiffer Falls. You’ll be glad you did!
Now let’s head further south and west, for a look at some wonderful beaches in Hawaii.
Makaha Beach, Oahu
Makaha is on the remote leeward side of Oahu, home to big wave surfing in the winter, only the experienced need apply.
I was happy just to walk on the beach and sink into the deep and velvety sand.
Meanwhile, on Maui
There’s no shortage of accessible beaches on Maui in all shades of aquamarine. So many in fact, I’m hard-pressed to remember the names of these below. Perhaps you’ll recognize them.
Finally, I’ll leave you with a rather subdued aquamarine at sunset, Turtle Bay, Oahu.
And that will do for today’s dose of aquamarine.

Great choices for the challenge, Susanne. And I am very jealous of that scenery on a dark night in wintry Beetley!
Best wishes, Pete.
Thanks so much, Pete! I love all the places in this post and hope to get back to them again. In the meantime, the photos will have to do to carry us through dark and dreary winter! 🙂 Susanne
Your collection of aquamarine moments is a visual treat! The stunning lakes of the Canadian Rockies, the breathtaking coastline of Big Sur, and the tropical beauty of Hawaiian beaches all showcase the diverse shades of aquamarine nature has to offer. Each image tells a unique story, from the iconic Lake Louise to the remote allure of Makaha Beach. The subdued aquamarine sunset at Turtle Bay is a serene and captivating way to conclude this delightful journey. Thank you for sharing these glimpses of beauty from around the world!
Thanks so much for your lovely comment. I appreciate it!
Alex and I are drawn to water: lakes rivers and of course the ocean…stunning photos!
Thanks so much, John! You can never have too much aquamarine!
Stunning photography Susanne! Hugs, C

Oh my, your aquamarine beach views leave me breathless and drooling for warm days digging my toes into the sand! Glorious shots, Susanne! I bet you loved every moment visiting all those beaches.
Thanks, Terri! It makes me want to book my next flight to Hawaii! I can never get enough of those beautiful islands, and all those beaches! 🏖🏝
I know! We also need to go back sooner than later.
Beautiful photos! We were in Hawaii and loved the beautiful beaches – Sparky was especially impressed wit the black sand beaches we visited… Your aquamarine photos really are spectacular!
Thank you so much! I really love the black sand beaches too but didn’t have great photos that also included aquamarine. Guess I better go back and get some! 🙂
Splendid selection of aquamarines, Susanne. Wonderful scenes all of them.
Thank you, Graham. Some of my favorite places.
Both seas and lakes are gorgeous Susanne, and perfectly aquamarine 😀 I especially love the reflections in Lake Moraine, the pretty Pfeiffer Falls and those huge breakers in Hawaii!
Thanks, Sarah. They are some of my favorite places and I hope to get back to all of them!
Yes! that will do it! now if you could catapult me to a few of these places, life would be perfect. Well done, Susanne.
Aw thank you so much! If only it were that easy, I would do it!
Beautiful!
Amazing collection of pictures and moments!
Thank you so much!
