Chennai's Marina Beach is the second longest beach in the world. This photo was taken about 5:30am in that twilight between full dark and real sunrise on the Bay of Bengal. This is not a swimming beach by any stretch of the imagination. It's too close to the port of Chennai, has a steep drop-off very close to the shoreline and has a dangerous undertow. The other reason nobody swims here is because the locals don't really swim in the sea. A million folks may come down to stand at the water's edge for the experience of a sea breeze, but actually getting in the water to swim isn't very popular. The brave souls who actually try remain full dressed in their streets clothes. You will not see a bikini anywhere in Chennai on this beach.
nice shot, tho I'm not sure what the L is yet. please help me.

It is as if the clouds are smiling at the thought of the rising sun! Beautiful, even if no L in it.
