  1. Munch captures the same intense blue of the waters of Scaninavia, here. As the topography of Norway is very different from that of Sweden, it must be the angle of the light. It is absolutely true that a Scandinavian lake looks far more blue than further to the South in Europe. Is the sea blue or green? Well, in Scandinavia it is most certainly blue.

    1. At that latitude, the angle would affect the light more than here in tropical Hawaii. The color of our waters depends on the depth and the color of the sea floor in the shallows near shore. There's a place near my home called "the cliffs" where the water is an amazing royal blue. Also the best place on the island to see whales. On the sand beaches on the west side, the water is turquoise.
