Blautopf


Blue Monday is hosted by Sally.
( Wishing Sally a speedy recovery!)

This is the Blautopf (German for Bowl of the Blau, "blau" means blue) a spring  I visited last month in Southern Germany.  My picture is straight out of the camera, the intense blue on a sunny day is absolutely stunning and it is "the result of chemical properties of limestone densely distributed in the water".

More on this blue spring can be found here, interesting legends and description of the spring, much better told by the wiki than by me!
