Wonders of Nature, a photo from Prachuap Khiri Khan, Central

Photographer's Note

Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling five balls in the air. You name them - work, family, health, friends, and spirit - and you're keeping all of these in the air. You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. But the other four balls - family, health, friends, and spirit are made of glass. If you drop one of these, they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged, or even shattered. They will never be the same. You must understand that and strive for balance in your life.
Brian Dyson, CEO of Coca Cola Enterprises from 1959-1994

Taken at the northern part of Malay Peninsula (Hua-Hin) with a silhouette of a happy family from a distance appreciating the real beauty of life in a God given wonders of nature.

THe colors are just amazing, nearly unreal. The inclusion of the silhouettes on the right side is very good and gives life to the picture.

Hello Albert,

I have a feeling the spectacular sunrises and sunsets in East Asia are more dramatic than in the West; or perhaps it is the idea of the grass being greener on the other side of the fence. In any event, this is a dramatic photograph, appreciated on the diametrically opposite side of the world. It is 10:00 in the morning on Sunday here, it must be 12 or 13 hours later where you are.

Warm regards from Virginia, USA.

Great sunrise, (I'm guessing its a sunrise since Hua Hin faces east)

I never heard that quotation before; if only we all took heed!
This is a beautiful image; good for the spirit. :) The vivid colours are glorious and the reflected colour in the sea wonderful. Although the family is very tiny in the image it is an important part of the composition. Well done.

Love the quote you have included in your description - really hits the spot! And perfect to accompany such an amazing picture capturing nature and this landscape in its essence! Stunning colours, good composition and a nice addition getting the silhouettes even if small and distanced.

Hi Albert,

It is a capture that strikes with dynamical beauty of most intensive colours, indeed the work of art from nature, life in a form of a painting, but with your note...perfect. It would be rude to analisy this wonderful sky scenery, the glorious atmosphere, so I will leave just with a word: magic!

Kind regards,
Jeri

Albert, c'est une photo d'une tr鋊 grande beaut�. J'aime ce ciel sombre qui ne peut emp璚her le soleil de s'imposer comme si le meilleur devait toujours l'emporter. Belle ma褾rise de la lumi鋨e et des couleurs.

PaulVDV (63478) 2008-07-13 3:00

Hello Albert,
Very beautiful colours of this sunset picture.
I like specially the yellow holes in the dark blue clouds, the reflection of the sun in the sea and the line of dark clouds just above the horizon.
Well done, Paul
