the sun continues to retreat behind the horizon, diffusing its reddish hue onto the surroundings. The water, tinged by this crimson shade, sparkles in the evening light, as if caught in the drying embers of the day. There is a stillness in the air, which is only marred by the occasional rise of the waves as they gather momentum before crashing onto the beach with an exasperated sigh. All is peaceful here, here where the city dwells flock to get a moment of respite from the chaotic working lives.
