Turquoise is one of my favourite colours, so I thought I’d have a peep through my travel photos to find any with that greenish-blue hue I love so much. Here’s some hand-thrown pottery from Turkey accented with turquoise (a good place to start seeing as the word turquoise originally referred to stones coming from Turkey).
Kayaking on turquoise waters in Waterford.
A steaming pool of turquoise in Yellowstone Park.
