About Turquoise Soča River near Tolmin

The Soča flows for about 138 kilometres from the Julian Alps to the Adriatic Sea, and it is famous for the bright emerald and turquoise colour of its water. Its rapids are popular for kayaking and rafting, and its gorges have been cut deep into the pale limestone. During the First World War the valley was the scene of the Isonzo Front, where Italian and Austro-Hungarian armies fought twelve battles between 1915 and 1917; Ernest Hemingway described them in A Farewell to Arms. In this photo the turquoise river runs between white boulders and green trees near Tolmin.

Puzzle tip: follow the turquoise water first; the white boulders and the green banks come together around it.
