When darkness wane and the cossetting, soothing sunrise takes in….
Ah, there you are.
Our hunt for sunrise ended up at Sanur, located at the eastern coast of Bali. The Sanur Beach is abundant with tropical landscaped gardens brought about by the many resorts around (BALI HYATT, Sanur Beach Hotel, Mercure Resort Sanur, to name a few). Not to mention that there is also that mesmerizing LAGOON, just like in the movies.
SANUR Beach Bali is every professional photographer’s dream location. Potentially equipped with numerous & gorgeous backdrops, boats, fishermen, fishermen on a boat, mountains, volcano, if you want to capture postcard worthy of sunrise photos , SANUR is your best bet. The lagoon is breathtaking! The reflection and the silent waves, it kills! It’s purely beautiful, I feel my inner soul dancing to its melancholic tunes. Bonus points if you are a sucker for raked sands..just by looking at them, it’s an instant meditation..or plain therapy for the soul.
I think he woke up at about 0622H. I was there patiently waiting; amidst the clouds hovering its mighty rays. At the back of my mind, if I got a pistol I’d pull the trigger the moment I’d see him peek. Fascinated by his shyness, he still delivered the goods. How can one not love the sunrise? A prelude of a brand new day; sets forth a brand new expectation.
It was actually drizzling the night before, so there was a massive amount of clouds that covered up Mr. Sun King. The smell of the sea made it much sweeter. Albeit the weather condition, the SUNRISE was purely sublime. It always gives us a new hope, a fresh try, overcome old habits and starting anew.
So what is it for you- sunrise or sunset? Whether your choice would be saying hello or goodbye to the day, it all boils down to your potential in seeing the beauty in both. The purity of the rising sun, the cascading colors of the sunset – remember that the sun can spruce up the sky in a minute or two then it all goes poof. Just like our precious lives, make each moment count. Let every sunrise or sunset be a thimble of our journey and faith.
