Hello everyone!
By now you can probably tell that i'm a big fan of sunsets, and i also like to take many photos of each one i see.
Travelling Australia i was lucky enough to see my fair share of breath-taking skies, and here i would like you share with you the sunset that has the number one spot!
To set the scene: The place is Darwin, sometime in April. We've spent the day exploring, finishing it off with a rather spicy, inedible curry that i attempted to make. Our hostel didn't have too much to offer, so we decided to take a wander, no aim in sight. We stumble across a footpath that leads down through overgrown trees, so we decide to follow the path. What we see is pictured below, the photos not doing it justice.
There was only a handful of people on the beach, and the water was incredibly calm. It was still warm, not a sound to be heard except the occasional fish jumping out of the water, or someone skipping pebbles along the shoreline.
When i zoomed in with my camera, the colours of the sky turned even more orange. Creating what looks like a watercolour painting. Just look at the light hitting the water, creating a 'stairway to the sun'.
As the sun hid further behind the horizon the colours in the sky changed quickly. Once it was gone the pink and purple tones became more prominent, hitting the water and reflecting the colours. Your whole vision was filled with these wonderful colours.
One of these pictures now sits on a canvas in our living room, reminding me every day of how truly astonishing mother nature can be, and how lucky enough i was to be in the right spot at the right time and capture this moment for everyone else to see. Nature at her best.
Thanks for reading, xo
