Sunset moments are always interesting to see from any angle or background. Be it behind a mountain range, in the middle of a city, a beach, or even a highway. On this occasion, I would like to share some sunset photos that I took while traveling to a beach. That day's weather was apparent, with only a few clouds in the sky. I left at 5:45 pm, which is in Aceh (Indonesia), where the sun was still shining quite brightly. The beach is only about 4-5 kilometers away from where I live, so it only took about 10 minutes to get there.
About 1 kilometer before arriving at the location, I could already see the sun starting to set with the sky already starting to change from blue to orange-golden. Since the road was not too crowded, and I thought the view was quite interesting, I stopped my motorcycle and pulled over to take some pictures.
The combination of the sun that looks so round with its distinctive rays, the road traveled by several motorized vehicles, and the electric poles lined up neatly on the left side of the road are very interesting to enjoy. Without wasting any time, I immediately took out my camera and took some pictures of this moment.
I took pictures from the same spot from several different angles. The first photo I took with a position slightly to the center of the road because at that time there were no vehicles behind me. The next picture I took was from the left side of the road because vehicles were passing by. In addition, I also raised the angle of view of the shot slightly so that only the sun and a few electricity poles were visible.
Having had enough, I continued my journey to the beach by driving a little faster. Arriving at the beach, many people were crowding the location. Of course, they were also hunting for the sunset. Unfortunately, at that time the wind began to blow quite strong, and the sky which was previously only filled with a few clouds, now began to be covered by quite thick clouds, which were carried by the movement of the strong wind. Nonetheless, I still took some pictures of the cloud-covered sunset. A few other people were also seen in the frame, which I felt still had enough interest value.
I captured some pictures, and I also enjoyed the moment. After some time, the sun finally set completely, and the sky started to get darker. I decided to head back, and so did the other visitors. That's all the stories I can tell on this occasion. I hope you liked it and don't hesitate to leave a comment on this post. Thank you for visiting and taking the time to read this article, and see you next time!
