The World of Xpilar Landscape/Seascape Photography & Art Contest Week #076 || Waiting Sunrise on The Fishpond

I have a friend who has a shrimp farm, I haven't visited him for a long time. He was my schoolmate in High School. Usually he calls me if we want to harvest prawns, we eat as much shrimp as we want in the pond, and the rest is also ordered to take home.

But so far he said the ponds have always failed to harvest, the shrimp cannot grow optimally because of disease outbreaks. I do not know, I do not understand the ins and outs of the situation in the pond. Even if it can be harvested, but not maximally, it's just a return on investment.

But this time I want to visit him because I already miss him, so not fot eat prawns. I like the view on the pond. As far as the eye can see, there is a vast expanse of ponds and green mangrove trees that grow in line beside the embankments of the pond. I'm planning to wait for the sun to rise tomorrow morning, so I have to stay the night. We usually stay in the pond, there is a small hut like a loom which is usually used for resting and cooking.

That morning the weather was not too clear, a little cloudy. But I was ready to wait for dawn to arrive, the orange color appears slowly on the eastern horizon indicating the sun will rise. I prepare the smartphone camera to take pictures later. The longer the orange color gets clearer, visible the refraction slightly reddish sky reflecting the light into the wide pool water. In my heart I praise the majesty of God who has given extraordinary beauty this morning, it's not in vain I waited for it. A beauty that doesn't last long, but is able to make this feeling and heart so calm and peaceful.
