Glorious sunrises over the Indian Ocean

The eastern sun rises over this nearly silent seascape. Short waves break at the top of the water line. This entire stretch of visible Indian Ocean is a natural aquarium merely a few feet deep as far as the eye can see. Within hours, the tide recedes, the ancient-looking dhow boat lies on its side, and the seabed becomes walkable. For this waking moment, all is right, peaceful, and calm.

The entire AIM team was thankful to absorb this early morning gift.
