DLD 192: It’s Delta sir, She’s gone Plum!

A serene sunset over the ocean with the sun partially obscured by dark clouds. The sky is painted in warm hues of orange and yellow, with rays of sunlight streaming through the gaps in the clouds, creating a dramatic and peaceful scene. The ocean below is calm and dark, reflecting the colors of the sky.

The overall atmosphere is lively and vibrant.
