This picture was taken last year and it was in my gallery for sometime. Yet, I am posting it here. As my friend, Fred always says, there is no better place to enjoy the splendor of Indian Ocean than Arugam Bay, one of the best surfing spots in the world!
We camped on the beach and were up from 4.30am to see the amazing sight of sunrise. As soon as I woke up, I took above picture from the tent. By that time, my friends were already busy taking pictures!
