Sleep, by Ryszard Wierzbicki

Here I present another photo taken by Sitchon Beach in the Sothern-East part of Gulf of Thailand Bay. Thai people enjoy social activities in connection with nature. The girl spotted in this frame paradoxically is not a poor one. Her parents have a booth with Thai snacks by the Sitchon Beach. The girl just took an advantage of the sea breeze and shadow of trees by taking a nap. A beautiful moment, wonderful moment!
