[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I arrived in the town of Gunung Sitoli, on the north coast of the island of Nias, about 5 pm, after a long bus trip from Lagundri Beach in the south. My boat back to Sibolga in Sumatra left about 8 pm. Taking a few sunset shots filled in a bit of time. Both areas of Nias were devastated by the Boxing Day Tsunami, in 2004.

Gosh… what a sky!!!

Hi Chris, I'm not too much for this one. Is it heavy Neatimage in the sky? Colours here are the best. Object, the fence, is not really eye catching and the shilhouette palms have too much fringing I think. Sorry, this one just doesn't work for me. Hope you don't mind. Yours, Jan

Hi Chris,
the colors drew me to this picture. A wonderful mod you captured. Nice details and good POV.

Hi Chris,
I like the radiating crimson streaks in the sky. Nice impact.

Under the circumstances, one does not have much choice. The trees were lumped together to form a dark mass.( I suppose you don't have the time to wonder around to look for more interesting shapes and silhouettes). I also think that the foreground is a little over-dodged. As I said, it is a very difficult situation. We don't have the choice. Keep looking...

Hi Chris,

Very interesting sky!
The colours are deep and rich. They create a magical atmosphere! It's a shame that it was destroyed by the Tsunami.
Well done!

wonderful colours, Chris, thanx, M, (*_*)

Gorgeous colours - looks like the aurora beaurialis (sp?) late at night in the summers slightly north of here. Very nicely done Chris, and sad that it was hit by the Tsunami.
TFS, Sam

Hi Chris,
Beautiful sunset, with great colours. TFS.

Those violet/pink tones are a nice surprise! I like the way it's made shadow in a very calm mood
