Sunset over paradise island

Spending our very first sunset of new year 2020 at this paradise island in North Ari Atoll, Maldives. What a special way to start the new decade at a tropical island among Indian Ocean, surrounded by white powdery, sandy beach, a lagoon awash in deep blues and rich diversity of marine life , and soaring coconut palms swaying in the breeze.
