The bright sun shines down on the ripply water making it look like diamonds are just beneath the surface. The orange/brown sand looks scorched from the burning, hot sun. I see people sitting in hammocks enjoying the latest magazines, I see surfers, attempting to stay upright on their surfboards, I can see the gulls crying out desperately for the food they can almost taste in their white throats, I can almost hear the sapphire waves crashing in a rhythmic pattern. I can even almost see the palm trees swaying back and forth to the tacise breeze. I look at the synbatec beach and smile. It's breathtaking. All of a sudden I start to smell something like wastopaneer. I snap out of it and think... Fresh paint. I stare at my work of art in front of me and sigh.
Hope you liked it! Here are the rules if you want to do this challenge as well:
