Closer to paradise on Earth

As my family was driving up to the top of Bokor Mountain on a newly restored road, the only which really took my breathe away was gazing at all the beautiful exotic vegetation growing elegantly at the side of our route. Approached at a very high point of the mountain, I excitedly rushed out from the car to enjoy the senses on this tropical paradise. Massive cold white clouds was floating gently in the air through trees, people and cars and then I was completely covered in a cold but joyful whiteness for the first time of my life. The smells of salty air from the visible sea down below filled the atmosphere and the breeze continued to pass my face in tranquility. Minuted later, clouds began to disappear from my sight and left a absolutely stunning view of the sea, islands and more importantly, the mountain's forest from nearly 1 km from the sea level, under the gorgeous blue sky, flooded with bright sunshine. That moment is now buried so deeply in my memory and it is just too spectacular for me to forget.

  1. I liked the idea of vegetation growing "elegantly!" I like the description of the clouds parting - the specific nouns and the verb "flooded." I think the word "visible" could be deleted - not necessary. A few small grammar points - clouds was? -minuted?
    Beautiful scene!
