The Sun Is Gone, But I Have A Light

Inspiring beauty of nature

With about forty five minutes to spare before I had to pick up my son, I dropped by Taman Selera to have an ais kacang and to just relax. Sitting at the food bazaar, I had a great view of the sea and beach. The sky was overcast with dark clouds. I guess the dark clouds matched the sombre mood ...
