What I feel when I visited Sundak beach was something that is called tranquility. It was about 3.30 PM when the sun prepared to ‘come home’. The golden light of the sun warmed me while I was blown by the wind of the sea. The subsided water allowed me to go further, walked on the green sea weeds, found the best angle to capture the moment. All I heard was only the sound of the wind and the wave. I looked at the water, there were many small fishes swam and hide in the coral, maybe they’re afraid of me.
