Water

Sea, canal, lake and river, and what happens where they meet the land.

Columnar sea cliffs of dark basalt dropping straight into clear blue water along a Hawaiian coast. White water churning in a narrow inlet at the foot of tall basalt sea cliffs. A still tidal pool held between black lava outcrops, the open ocean and a distant island visible through the gap. A dark tidal pool between two lava headlands, reflecting the sky, with the ocean and a distant island beyond. A sandy beach curving away past dark lava rocks into shallow blue water, low trees along the shoreline. People walking and carrying bodyboards along a sunlit beach, small waves breaking over lava rock offshore. Clear shallow water washing onto a broad sandy beach, swimmers in the shallows and a green cinder cone behind. Water pouring from a wooden pipe in a lava rock wall into a muddy taro patch, young taro leaves standing in the shallow water. Shafts of sunlight breaking through heavy cloud over a dark open ocean. Lines of surf breaking along a green forested coastline, palm fronds in the foreground. A tall waterfall dropping down a mossy cliff into a pool, framed by dense green vegetation. A humpback whale rising head-first out of deep blue ocean, water streaming off its throat, a low island on the horizon. A humpback whale most of the way out of the water mid-breach, its long white flipper pressed against its side. A breaching humpback whale twisting onto its side, flipper raised clear of the spray. A humpback whale falling back toward the water at the end of a breach, its flipper extended. A humpback whale crashing back into the sea, throwing a broad sheet of white spray across the frame. A long island ridge under a bank of tall white cumulus, seen across deep blue open water. A dark rain cloud sitting low over green ridged mountains, the flat grey sea in the foreground. A high view across a green isthmus to the sea on both sides, under a heavy grey cloud layer. A high view over green ridges to a wide bay and coastal plain, a heavy grey cloud layer above. The sun low over the sea behind two power lines, its light laid in a bright path across the water. A yacht's mainsail seen from the deck looking up the mast against a deep blue sky. A stainless steel boat rail in the foreground with open ocean and a low island on the horizon beyond. A surfer riding inside the curl of a large breaking wave, another paddling over the shoulder behind. A clean set of waves peeling along a reef under an overcast sky, seen over green scrub in the foreground. Surf breaking white along a rugged lava coastline, deep blue ocean beyond and dry scrubland in the foreground. The flat-topped crescent of Molokini crater sitting on the horizon, with dolphin fins breaking the calm water in the foreground. A small turquoise wave curling over and breaking onto coarse golden sand. The Tiber curving between tree-lined embankments, a bridge crossing it and St Peter's dome on the skyline. An arched stone bridge over the green Tiber, the rooftops and towers of Rome rising behind it. Castel Sant'Angelo across the Tiber, framed by plane tree leaves, with graffiti along the embankment wall below. The Palace of Justice in Rome seen through a frame of leaves, its sculpted facade above the river embankment. A narrow Venetian canal between tall stuccoed houses, small boats moored along it and the buildings mirrored in still green water. A canal in Venice seen through a stone archway, a further bridge visible down the waterway beyond. A Venetian canal with a gold and red banner hanging from a balcony, a blue wooden boat moored below. A moored gondola under its blue cover beside striped mooring poles, San Giorgio Maggiore across the water behind. A gondolier in a white shirt standing at the stern of his gondola on a narrow canal, the boat's red velvet seats in the foreground. The ruined brick buildings of an abandoned lagoon island standing among trees, seen across flat pale green water. A row of Burano houses in ochre, red, blue and green along a canal, small boats moored in front and people walking the quay. A white catamaran under bare mast on a flat calm sea, the horizon hazing into the sky. The Faraglioni sea stacks standing off Capri in deep blue water, the cliffs of the island rising behind them under a clear sky. A crowded beach in a small cove, sunbathers and umbrellas along the sand and boats anchored in the turquoise water beyond. The harbour at Capri from above, boats moored along the breakwater and clear turquoise water below steep green cliffs. A limestone cliff dropping straight into brilliant turquoise water along the Amalfi coast, swimmers in the shallows below. A large motor yacht running along the Amalfi coast, terraced mountains rising steeply behind it. A superyacht at anchor on flat blue water, a red helicopter on its upper deck and a jet ski alongside. Tivoli's lake at dusk with the Chinese pagoda and roller coaster track reflected in it, purple flowers along the near bank. The Nyhavn canal under a grey sky, wooden sailing boats moored along the quay in front of a terrace of narrow red, yellow and ochre townhouses. Frederiksborg Castle seen across the lake, its copper-green spires above the treeline, bare seedheads in the foreground. A still canal reflecting trees, a red-brick mansion visible through the foliage and rosehips along the near bank. A gravel path under autumn trees running beside a lake, a cyclist passing and apartment buildings on the far shore. A lakeside beer garden at Berg on the Starnberger See, wooden jetties running out into clear green water under a bright sky. A mute swan on dark green water, its neck curved and orange bill lowered. A view over Hohenschwangau village and its lake to forested mountains, the yellow castle among the trees. A river flows through a narrow gorge with steep rocky banks covered in green vegetation. Orange-red flowering vine trailing over a dark surface with water visible below.
