Scillonian Sky

Where is this tropical seascape with it’s turquoise water and brilliant sky? You may be surprised to learn that it is a mere 30 miles or so off the UK coast, and I took this photo while leaning over the rails of the Scillonian III, the ferry boat which plies it’s trade between Penzance and one of my favourite places in the whole world – the Isles of Scilly. I’ll be there early in September, so you can expect some pictures of my adventures there at some point – but as to the skies we’ll see… I’ll have to trust to the weather!

I’ve seen this place on someone else’s blog. I was intrigued then. This photo makes me enthralled. MUST. VISIT! Lucky you!
Louise, it’s one of the most beautiful places in the world. There isn’t another place like it anywhere
What a beautiful photo, the colours are breathtaking! I’ve just been catching up with some of your previous posts, you have some really lovely photos and very interesting posts. I find it difficult sometimes to keep up with all the blogs I enjoy but will try to visit again soon
ShySongbird, you are incredibly kind – I am very glad that you came back here to see what I’ve been up to! I also often find it very hard to keep up with other peoples blogs – and have been wanting to come catch up with yours for a while now too. Don’t ever worry about dropping in occasionally, I know just how it is myself! I’m glad you have enjoyed reading, it’s lovely to have generous readers like yourself.
1 word “F A N T A S T I C ”

Thank you Eric, and the same to you too!
Totally cool shot matey and I do recognise that sea
Septemeber huh?
Oh yes Chrissy, roll on September! I hope the weather will be kind to us
There is no vanishing point! What a beautiful place.
It really is a special place SandyCarlson! Thank you for visiting
It looks like the water off some tropical island..just beautiful Bird
It really does, doesn’t it? You’d never guess that it’s in the UK and the water is actually pretty cold! But the sun is warm and the climate of the islands very kindly
That’s just gorgeous, Bird!
It really is Svasti, I can hardly wait!
oh wow this is so amazing. Anna
Oh my gosh, those turquoise waters are gorgeous! You’ve captured all of my favorite shades of blue here. Nice feathery cloud pattern, too. And how shameful that I’ve shown up here well over a month later to comment…can’t get out of my own way, I tell ya!
