Travertines at Pamukkale, Turkey
The water is pale blue in colour - the white pools reflecting the blue skies. It's also warm because it's from hot springs which bubble up at the top of the mountain. You can just see a line of people a third down on the left as they walk along a series of pools for a paddle. Just to give a sense of scale.

This is a very difficult scene to shoot because of the vast difference in brightness. If you had lugged a tripod over this ground (and I certainly would not have been willing to do so), you could have bracketed several shots and combined them to bring out the details in the darker elements. A polarizer might have eliminated some of the haze, but it also might have had a negative impact on the glossy pools of water. There is also a slight blue grey tint to the photo which might be the ground color or it might be a camera effect of shooting a white scene. Like snow, sometimes a more accurate shot can be achieved by adding a stop to the exposure. I just suggest these because I saw this In My Opinion, but I think that that is a very fine shot as is.
