Good morning Pulu Maria
On the beach at sunrise on West Island, over looking Pulu Maria, Cocos Islands.
Arriving at the beach with the promise of another stunning day, my husband turned off the car key, reclined the seat and went back to sleep!

Just gorgeous. Like everything in the world shouting halelujah at once. Artists see something beautiful and defy vertigo and insanity and the impulse to run by racing toward it, screaming: Hit me! Fill me up! More! More! More! til you pass out. I thank you for the stalwart heart that kept you looking, and bringing it all back home. It’s almost like standing there in person for this viewer. Wonderful photograph.

What a fantastic skyline. The clouds are perfectly patterned and lit nicely by the low sun. That glimpse of golden sky is streaked nicely along the horizon whilst the island with trees makes a great viewpoint. The reflections in the water have come out very nicely.
