Hia! ;o) I found this while looking through my archive, its of the coast on the way back from Thailand ....
not sure where maybe the east coast of India, I do know that it is the Arabian Sea.
What an *AWESOME sight from my seat....really I was in AWE!!!
Such a wondrous sight that is not often seen in our day to day lives...
and what gives us the *Beautiful view of where we all call *HOME!
Wishing *YOU* All a Super day! :O)

This a view of the *Swiss mountains the Lake *Konstance in *Germany and to top that Im standing in *Austria....lolloll, it was so AWESOME...I *LOVE the *Mountains soOooo MUCH! here is a little some thing I wrote to accompany this frame.

Silence, silence here upon this ground.
Bliss filled vision of the purifying so profound
with volumes of white mass upon this ground,
deeply nourishing the earth the vital core.

Bliss filled views of white rolling abundance,
jagged mountains become a silky mass.
The sun bellowing down radiating rainbows all around,
here is a peace that is rarely ever found...

After a LONG time out ....
Hia :O)) to all my *Flickr *Friends!!!
This from a slow silent walk with Mother Nature....in the subject of the saturation of light and colour, texture and form.
Wishing *YOU* all a Super weekend!

Just a few kilometres south of Koh Chang yet a million miles from its heavy urbanisation lies Ko Maak, undoubtedly an overlooked gem in Thailand's lavish crown. A tropical haven for those who like the quiet life, it has so far escaped the grasp of the major developers and remains a small slice of paradise locked in time.

With stunning white sandy beaches adjoining crystal clear water it is fast becoming famous for its scenery; British newspaper The Sunday Times recently included Ko Mak as one of their 'Top Ten Beaches in the World', and the past few years has seen the island's beauty also attracting film makers looking for an authentic tropical location.

A single track road meanders through the island and offers the chance for the explorative to find their own deserted beach, or perhaps take in the sights and sounds of the jungle. If you're searching for your own slice of 'Robinson Crusoe' then this is possibly about as close as it comes.

Coconut and rubber tree plantations cover a vast proportion of the island, interspersed with patches of lush virgin forest. The population of the island is created from two parameters; one group being the land owners, descendants of Chao Sua Seng, a Chinese Affairs Officer and Coconut Baron who owned the island a century ago, and the other being the workers who have settled and live on the plantations. The population now numbers upwards of 600 people.

Until the 1990's there were only a few package hotels on the island; today there are more than 20, ranging from modest backpacker accommodation to luxury boutique resorts. The often misleading rumour that Ko Maak only caters to pre-booked tours can be no further from the truth, the majority of places welcoming walk-in trade.

With three piers currently in operation serving speed boats and ferries to Ko Chang and the mainland there's plenty of options for getting to and from the island, and most places send a representative to the piers to tout for business and bring you to their resort for free.

Outside of the resorts there's not much to do except soak up the splendour of nature, and perhaps take a snorkelling or diving trip to the nearby Marine Park which offers easily the best selection of marine life in the Gulf of Thailand. Days are spent lazing around on the beach, in a hammock, or perhaps taking advantage of the newly designed bicycle tracks around the island. Nightlife is virtually non-existent except for a few cosy bars and restaurants; if you're looking for disco's and a bit of company then neighbouring Ko Chang will far better suit your needs.

Koh Maak is that tranquil place that many people come to Thailand looking for, and those who find it usually stay far longer than planned. As to how long it will remain this way we will have to wait and see -- for now though, it truly is a slice of heaven.

Oh My gosh to look at this frame brings back to me...so many breathtaking feelings, emotions and memories back of this incredible country. The evening sun was so full of a stunning perfumed warm breeze that lifted you up and sent you to another level of Bliss....in the surroundings of Thailand, my heaven on earth. :O)))
