The Blue Lagoon

Chris Whidden February 17, 2015

silica, and snow. Algae. Deep Ocean water filters up through geothermally heated layers of volcanic rock and bubbles up to the surface to create pools of some of the most unique water in the world. the pools are rich in silica and a unique breed of algae that not only gives the water the deep blue green color that makes it so iconic, they're also responsible for healing benefits promoted through the pools highly regarded clinics or health spas. the floor of some areas of the community pools are covered with a very fine gooey grey mud. squishes between your toes. mud like this is collected in buckets and basins for guests to make face masks. some advise, don't get it in your eyes, it sucks, especially if you;re wearing contacts. silica is fine, gritty and sharp stuff.

For all of the photos Amelia and I capture, it’s surprisingly rare that we get photos of each other. This, from a misty Sunday in Kalōpā. Amelia’s hair is so long here! Cheers to us. ✨✨

Throwback to the Oahu Color Run, back in the Ola Noni Days. It took so long to clean the color out of my camera after this shoot! 🌈📸😭

Reykjanes Peninsula Iceland—Blue Lagoon hot springs at sunrise with @mia.bedelia 🧊🔥 

Absolutely surreal landscape. Was only able to get a few photos that morning because my lenses kept fogging up from all the steam. 🇮🇸

Lots of gratitude to: @chasemsilva for being down for this last minute photo session. 📸

Lush Honokaʻa plants soaking up the elements. 🌿💧🌞 
One of the perks to always having my camera on me is sometimes I pull over on long drives just to pay homage to the ʻĀina with some plant portraits. 📸

Keeping it alive.
