Santorini, Greeceby Rok Ting - Editorial
During my trip to Greece in 2007, I visited Santorini. It is a beautiful island in the southern Aegean Sea. The architectures
on the island feature the two characteristic colours of Greece - blue and white. The rst picture (top-most) was the
church at Oia facing the Aegean Sea. Its one of the famous photogenic place. The second picture (bottom-right) was
taken during the sunset at Fira, capital of Santorini. The third picture (bottom-left) was taken at the Kamari Beach. The
chairs and umbrellas also feature the countrys national colours.
I love the blue, it's so inviting.

Sallys Sunsetby Nor Ashikin - E-Pub
A girl name Sally has always wished to see the sunset. On her 18th birth-
day, her family brought her to East Coast Park. As she walked on the soft
sands, leaving footprints behind, the summer winds blew the clouds away
and the full splendor of the sunset was revealed. She was so happy to
see the sunset that she jumped with joy, the sands trapped in between
her toes.
Can't help wanting to jump
as well. The mood is clearin this entry.

an important source of food in the form of oil and nutritious snack. Now
you can see the beauty of the Sun with these photos of mine.
The yellow is simply
captivating. Great colourintensity.

Third
The Frolicby Tsai Xin Rong, Cheryl - Editorial
It was a cool Sunday morning with an azure blue sky dotted with
magnolia white clouds. The warm rays of sun reecting against the
waters created an image that looked as if thousands of sapphires
laced the swishing waves. My cousin and I were frolicking by the sea. We
tried to build our own sandcastles and we ended up giggling at each
others failed attempts. Burying our feet in the cozy sand as we chitchat till the sun is high up in the sky. Hand-in-hand, we strolled along the
shoreline, leaving with a new sisterly bond forged between us.
Cheryl's interpretation ofthe beach is simply fun.

The Waitby Alison Law - Marketing
An early morning wait watching the breaking of dawn with reection of the
sea. The rising sun shining ever brightly amidst the cloudy sky above the
calming water and below it, the uttering tide waving in and out against
the rocky sandy beach capturing the smiling shine.
Alison had successfully
captured the warmth andbeauty of sunset.
