A three shot panorama of the Natural Bridge. It is a naturally formed rock arch over Cave Creek, a tributary of the Nerang River. It was formed from a waterfall which undercut a cave beneath the waterfall and dug a pothole on top, until the two joined and the creek flowed through the cave, leaving an arch across the front. The bridge is located in Springbrook National Park in the Gold Coast hinterland of Queensland, Australia. The park is situated on the McPherson Range, near Springbrook, approximately 100 kilometres (62 mi) south of Brisbane. The park is part of the Shield Volcano Group of the UNESCO World Heritage listed Gondwana Rainforests of Australia.

Thanks for great entry! I really like how different colours the same water has depending of the light source... beautiful and mysterious.
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
Submit
Yes. The colour dichotomy is a result of the direct green rainforest reflections contrasting with the subtle blue from preferential scattering of short-wavelength light as it hits the the waterfall mist and has to travel down quite a deep shaft (this is the same reason the sky is blue from the water vapor in the atmosphere) .

It's water wednesday! Do you SUP? I took this picture on Vancouver island near Comox. Friends of ours have a house there and it's a great place for stand up. The bay never gets too many waves and the tide moves in really slowly so the water can get a bit warmer (good for if you fall in). I love being out on the water - it's so peaceful and a great place to just be with your own thoughts.

Thank you Shadalene to remind me to put the picture here as well, This morning (belgium) I think you did not have the new contest out yet :-)
this picture is taken in New Zealand, we did a trip to go and swim with dolphins, but the dophins had babys, so we did not go, because they can be very protective and there for can be dangerous. Later on we went in the sea anyway, because there were no dolphins when we got this beautifull present, they chose to come and swim with us. It was amazing! I hope you enjoy.

The ocean is a whole world, another planet. It is populated by amazing creatures. For us, for people living in a different world, every new encounter with marine life is an incredible miracle and brings a lot of positive emotions. But each time we need to remember that we are only guests in the underwater world and we must be very careful to enter it.

Salmon Fisher's boat
Clam Gulch is a small (176 people as of the 2010 census) city on the western side of the Kenai Peninsula in Alaska. This is the beach that my friend her and her family have used for generations to fish for salmon. This picture was taken in June at 10:30pm in the evening. It was my first time experiencing a sunset that late at night. Alaska was gorgeous and this beach in particular.

Here's my entry for WaterWednesday. I photographed this from a helicopter with the door removed. It was on the way to a commercial photo shoot where I was going to be photographing a silver mine in Nevada from the air. I figured I needed to "warm up" the camera on the way to the silver mine. Glad I did...

I found this interesting rock formation on the Cordoama beach and had struggled to find the right position on the wet stones, wiping the lens, covering my camera from splashes and trying to capture the contrast between the motion of water and stillness of rock.

This is my water picture. Captured in a middle of the Estonia. Main goal was to picture stars but i found an awesome place with a small lake.I dont know the lake´s name. It was in a middle of forest basically in the middle of nowhere. Oh and i heard that big bears live in this location, it was a little scary as well being there.

This image was created on the island of Silhouette, Seychelles. The island is locate 45 minutes boat driving from island Mahé, and Victoria is the capital city of the Seychelles archipelago in the Indian Ocean.
Nature did a magic thing. The rain was a few miles from the shore, in the middle of the ocean. We enjoyed the warmth of the sun, and the beautiful scene that was created - Rainbow.

One of our dogs started running up the dunes though, and we thought she had seen something to chase. We went after her, climbing up the gradient and steady hill towards the back of that virgin beach. We climbed a couple of rocks, and followed her through some very impressive twists in the given and washed out pathway. We arrived at the end of the rockiest part of the beach, only a few seconds before she jumped into a pond of salty water, deep and wide like a lake. The water was low, and we could see the color of the rocks surrounding us.
In a strange way, we felt small and insignificant, and protected at the same time. Finally, we had found the way to enjoy a piece of nature that was left alone for the most part. Clean and peaceful. And when we left, the world was not the same anymore.

I am actually on steemit in time to enter this contest today! My entry is a long exposure from Panther Beach in California. This beach is part of the Coastal Diaries State Park just north of Santa Cruz. The park is filled with amazing cliffs and beaches and is my favorite spot for coastal photography in Santa Cruz county. I am considering going here again today for sunset. I have the day off and I am thinking of going to Big Basin to shoot some old growth redwoods, then heading to the coast for sunset. If I head out of Big Basin to the south and try to cut to the coast I will end up on Bonny Dune road which intersects Highway 1 right at this park. My daily itinerary feels a bit like TMI right now and I apologize for that but I was struggling to come up with 75 words!

This maybe a liberal interpretation of the theme, but as you said in the title, water can come in many shapes and forms.
I climbed this mountain in Thailand in a torrential rainstorm. As I reached the summit, the rain finally relented and gave me a chance to take some photos. It took just a few minutes for the tropical sun to begin reinstating its authority. As it did so, thick clouds of mist rose up out of the surrounding landscape. The jungle was steaming, and I was finding a new definition for the word humid.

I took this photo when a was traveling in the Colombian Amazon region. At that time, we were going by boat to our house in the jungle through the wide amazon river. I was interested in capturing the pretty sunset and the stele that the boat left on the water while we were moved quickly
