"Live the Cover!" Contest: Maldives

Great Travel Moment

The reluctant sky submits as nightfall descends to cloak us in a somber shade of black. The stars wait eagerly to take their customary places in the nightsky. And just before the last light of day is extinguished, and gives way to night, the sky in all her brilliance glows a breathtaking blue, as deep and wondrous as any sea that basks in the light of day. This is her song, and such is mankind's desire to create something that lasts. That endures ravaging Empires, Natures fury, and Gods wrath. We look to the heavens for inspiration, in the hope that some bevy of celestial bodies will bestow us the knowledge that we strive so desperately for. And perhaps, due to our endurance and ingenuity, luck and a little help from above, we sometimes attain that elusive mark. We create something that transcends time, and confirms our worldly existence.
