About For this year I did a calendar to our office, titled the Maldivian Blues. On the cover I wrote this poem with a pic similar to this, but with more blue. Not sure if writing makes much senses.

Maldivian Blues

The distant deep velvety sky
Blending to the sea of sapphire
Cool azure tranquil waters
Washing onto the crystal beads

Taking some away
Bringing back more

Building a life from naught
Or taking away a life in waste
Keeps one lost in wonder
The silent rhythm taking over

A ritual of nature
In dreamy shades of blue
For some its a pleasant thrill
For others it overcomes the feel

Its all blue, shades of blue
The Maldivian Blues....

Thanks for all comments and suggestions.
Regards, Ahmed

Qué preciosos paisajes, un paraíso!
Una pena que el cambio ambiental lo condene...

Un abrazo!

Impresionantes texturas y la blancura de estas arenas... más el turquesa del agua... bellísima!

Such peace... Beautifully seen, Ahmed! You are very lucky living where you do. Which you're aware of, as shown above. :)

Lovely sand. Well taken. John

Very nice landscape. Nice tones of blue. I think that the composition would be much better in case there was something in the foreground of the shot.
Regards,
Michalis

Great simple image with beautiful details at that white sand, what a great coast that one Ahmed!
hmmmmmm..... I could put there a red unbrela or something that viewed strongly, or even a person, just to have something like a 'main point of interest', nothing else, but still that simplicity is beautiful here.

Great sense of depth, but the sand begs for some pattern - perhaps footprints?

I feel like I am walking along that soft swish of sand toward the coolness of the water. It is uncomplicated and elegant.
