I grew up in Bombay and never was the sea blue.<br />That is not to say I never saw blue waters. I have been fortunate to visit Tahoe in California and oh the waters are so blue!

But as you know due to the polutants and also the presense of various plants (both micro like algae etc and larger types like sea weeds etc) in the waters the color tends to be more like green or grey. It also depends on the color of the sky at any particular time (which may not always be blue). But a lots of places one can witness clear blue waters of the sea. It may not be at a popular beach. It is more at a secluded spot. Have you seen the movie “Blue Lagoon”.<br /><br />Bluish Water of Seas<br /><br />Turquoise water in lake<br />Sifar | Homepage | 12.25.07 – 5:54 pm | # <br /><br />——————————————————————————–<br /><br />Well, perhaps I should try visiting again during the summer or winter, when the skies are clearer. <br /><br />Thanks for the beautiful pictures! The sea actually does look bluish in the first one.<br />Sidhusaaheb | Homepage | 12.25.07 – 6:31 pm | # <br /><br />——————————————————————————–<br /><br />July is monsoon season – that’s why the sea is grey – because of the clouds and sea fog above the water. It is also very dangerous to venture into the sea to swim or boat around this time.<br />cyberkitty | Homepage | 12.26.07 – 6:04 am | # <br /><br />——————————————————————————–<br /><br />Well, I suppose the fog probably forms in the mornings or evenings. I didn’t really get to see any of it. <br /><br />There were plenty of clouds, though, and alternate spells of rain and sunshine, while I was there.<br />Sidhusaaheb | Homepage | 12.26.07 – 8:05 am | # <br /><br />——————————————————————————–<br /><br />After living in Delhi for 24 years when i moved to Mumbai, i had almost the same feelings (though the beaches and the seas are not as clean there).<br />But now after having spent close to 7 years there, i long to go back to my roots – mountains (being a Kashmiri by lineage).<br />tejbir | Homepage | 12.30.07 – 6:53 pm | # <br /><br />——————————————————————————–<br /><br />Wish you a very happy 2008 Sidhu, may we all travel more<br />Mridula | Homepage | 12.31.07 – 3:12 pm | # <br /><br />——————————————————————————–<br /><br />@Tejbir: Thanks for dropping by!<br /><br />I suppose the beeches are not too clean, but you didn’t mention the colour. :D <br /><br />Hope you are able to visit home soon! <br /><br />@Mridula: Wishing you the same!
