Weekly Photo Challenge: Harmony ( Koh Samui)

The sun has set; the day was coming to a close.

We were still loitering on the beach of Koh Samui, Thailand.DSC_0578A

The tide has gone out, exposing all the rock and coarse sand.

There was a blue tint everywhere; this was the source of harmony.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Forces of Nature (Koh Samui)

< 2 photos >

Here are two photos which show limestone in layers are raised up above the sea levels.DSC_0642

They now appear as islands, with stratified rock layers.DSC_0643

These islands have been subject to the action of wind, waves and tidal currents too!

Weekly Photo Challenge: Fresh (Flowers)

<4 Photos>

I like fresh flowers scenting the air.

The picture of the yellow flowers was taken early in the morning at Koh Samui when there were still dew drops on the petals.DSC_0675

Flowers just come popping up from the ground; they are love’s truest language, they are indeed the music of the ground.DSCF3147A

This is a bouquet of small flowers in Koh Samui. They are so fresh that  you can see the tiny filaments reaching out from the flowers.DSC_0674

 In joy or sadness, flowers are our constant friends. Water lilies convey a special atmosphere of Zen; you feel fresh again on seeing the water lilies.DSC_0589A
The water lily was also photographed on the island of Koh Samui, Thailand, early in the morning before of the start of a fresh new day.

Weekly Photo Challenge: Scale (Butterfly)

<This post contains 2 photos>

I captured these butterflies while visiting Koh Samui, Thailand.

The image of the butterfly predominates the whole picture.DSC_0666A

While the WPC challenge on Scale is usually taken as proportion, the image here also illustrates the scales on the butterfly.DSC_0671

 

Weekly Photo Challenge: Serenity ( at Koh Samui)

<This post contains 2 photos>

The theme for this week is Serenity.

We have always liked viewing sunset over the sea.DSC_0716B

This sparkling view was what we saw when standing on a beach at Koh Samui, Thailand.

It gives a sense of serenity too.

We waited long enough to see the sun completely set. What appeared before our eyes was a completely different view which instilled a different mood.DSC_0726A

Never tired of viewing the sea – it is just so serene!

Weekly Photo Challenge: Converge ( at Koh Samui)

Here is a splendid view.

While travelling on a speed boat, touring the pristine waters near Koh Samui in Thailand, the bow waves and the clouds seem to converge towards the islands.DSC_0663

This is convergence in the natural environment.

Please enjoy!

Weekly Photo Challenge: Minimalist (Koh Samui)

This is my second submission on the WPC Challenge of Minimalist.

This picture taken at a beach in Koh Samui, Thailand, shows nothing but the rocks lying on the beach only and nothing else other than the sky and the sea.DSC_0560

I like the blue tone of the whole thing, which is very subdued, highlighting the rocks.

Please enjoy 🙂
