Tall, jagged peaks climbed upwards, towards the sky that stretched out in all directions, high above. In the valley below sat a huge creature, encased in a cloud of dust. A huge sheet of lava stretched out in front of it, bordered by tall cliffs. Waterfalls of molten lava oozed down the cliff face. The creature was gargantuan, as tall as a 50 storey building. It had eyes as cold as ice, even though a fire burned within its belly. Long spikes jutted outwards from its jaw and long horns sprouted out of the back of its head.

Colours surrounded me: the crystal clear blues of the ocean, the golden colours of the sand, greens of the bushes and palms trees - but most of all the traditional colored clothing of the locals.

After such a beautiful day, I thought to myself, what a day in paradise.
