Guilin Fisherman - Golden hour
I've posted several images of the fisherman already but each one is unique in its own way. The cormorant fisherman fished all day long to feed their families for many centuries. Nowadays it's not profitable anymore and they earn some extra money by attracting tourists in the Guilin / Yangshuo area for photoshoots and so on. It was a once in a lifetime experience.
Have a good start into the week everybody!
Love those pics!
Tegalalang Rice Terrace
I took this shot on famous Tegalalang Rice Terrace on Bali. The Rice Terrace is located just outside of Ubud and is very popular by tourists as well as by locals. This image was taken while walking through the Rice Terrace and shows the small restaurants on the top at the main road from where you got the perfect view of the Terrace.
been there too. lots of people but indeed some great views
definitely. I try to avoid Bali nowadays as it is really getting to busy
I am glad to see you participating with this wonderful image. Have a great day. Tomas
thanks Tomas. I got the feeling I need to travel again, I´m running out of good photos :)
"Elephant Falls, Vietnam"
If you stand on top of the fall you can see rocks covered in green that look like elephants from the the back.
According to the legend, a young couple fled from their families who were punishing the young lovers for being together with a member of a hostile tribe. Both of them abandoned their roots to be with each other. Hoping no one would find them, they went into the jungle. Due to sickness, the guy had to return and get medicine ... I forgot the rest of the tale. It didn't end well for them.
I found this though:
"According to K’ho legend, the forested area was once the home of a girl whose father was a tribal chief. She died on the mountainside upon hearing that her boyfriend had been killed in a battlefield; but before her death, she sang. Her voice echoed throughout the mountains and moved the animals. The girl then turned into a cascade and a herd of elephants, bewitched by her singing, were compelled to stay in the waterfall forever.
Even today, the area retains a wild and mystical feeling."
That sure is a stunner!
An incredible place. Breathtaking
Wow. You are going to win this.
Nope ;) But thanks for the support ;) Maybe next time
This is the magnificent building of Baiturrahman Grand Mosque which I capture at the golden hour in Banda Aceh, Aceh province, Indonesia.
The photo of this mosque I shoot silhouette to show the beautiful and colorful twilight decorate the sky above the mosque building which is a religious tourism object in Aceh.
In addition to the beautiful twilight, on the silhouette of this mosque building also looks a unique architectural form with a number of domes on it.

Love it!
The photo was captured when the crew was setting up the air balloon. At that moment, my feeling was the mixture of excitement and anxiety. I am excited because it was my first time to fly while anxious about the safety.
Looks like so much fun!

Wow! I just love those colors!
This is the charm of Lhoknga beach at sunset. This beach has always been my choice to spend time with my friends at sunset. The beach is also very popular in Indonesia (asia). My photo is one of the most crowded places visited by visitors because it has a very interesting natural charm.
Calming and beautiful!
