Maldives...A glimpse of the sea and sand.

[faris]

Been sometime since I last posted here..

I have posted most of these in another forum. My apologies to those that have seen them there.

A short relaxing vacation..miles and miles of sea, sand, sunsets,
swimming with the dolphins and some deep sea fishing...

Two cameras..Fuji X100S and my wife handled the Sony RX100 ( MK 1 ).

Let's start with the color blue..shades of it as far as the eye can see. I would just sit under a tree, a hammock or a beach chair and doze off...

My hammock..

Or I would jump into this one..

A view from my water villa...

Those are my footsteps in the sand..

Most of the planes on the tarmac were from my region; carrying passengers to Maldives via Dubai, Doha, Abu Dhabi, Bahrain...

Disembarking from the jets, we took an hour's flight to our island on a smaller plane...

As usual, I started getting to know the people...

we circled over our island...

We had booked the top chalet on your right.. It was our belated wedding anniversary treat.

We said goodbye to the crew; but would meet with them later during our stay.

A place for quiet contemplation.

Best.

A storm comes our way...
