Green Island in Baa Atoll in Maldives

For @passionpassport‘s #PPTropical challenge // It was a beautiful morning around 8 a.m. The ocean was calm, and I could hear the sound of waves swaying toward the beach. I was struck by the various shades of blue in front of me. Although many are fond of the hues associated with sunset and sunrise, I believe that the blues found in the Maldives are among the best colors that can be seen on our planet.
