The blue of separation
In Japan, plates collide and cause earthquakes, but in Silfra they simply drift apart. The clear water and deep blue fissure mirror the Earth’s quiet passage of time. Continents once joined are forever divided, not by will, but by nature’s rhythm. This blue is the color of separation itself.
