The Magical Mystery Lagoon

A remote corner of Aitutaki, Cook Islands

I've seen it with my own eyes and yet I still can't completely comprehend how the colors of this lagoon can be so spectacular. Even the pink colored clouds are a mystery to me. And look at the cool water patterns under the lower left rock!  Some things are just pure magic. Believe it or not, the view UNDER the water is even better!  Taken handheld from a moving boat.  Tilt in horizon corrected by a crop, otherwise this is straight out of the camera.
