Sunset on 25th Dec 2004, Ao Nang Beach, Phuket

Was arranging photos for racial harmony presentation today. The theme was based on culture, sights and sounds of tsunami struck countries. So our department set up a mini 'spa', scented candles, warm lights, soothing music and a slide show of nice pictures, the works in short.

Looking at this set of pictures always make me pause and ponder. Time can indeed dilute emotions and memories. Photos are a very good reminder of sights and sounds past. Just like the photo taken at Ao Nang beach right after we had a nice day there on Christmas day 2004. Right after a nice glass of coke and preparing for a long ride back to our hotel. Right before the earthquake of Indonesia.

Who would have thought that the beach will no longer be there the next day?
