The benchmark depicts tropical paradise: waves of the infinite ocean
leisurely rolls over the sun-splashed shores of lagoon islands.  The
sunset paints straw huts with warm colors while the mild breeze gently
stirs the coconut palm leaves.  Hovering high in the tranquil sky the
gulls are watching crabs crawling on the velvety sand among the
abandoned boats.
