[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Maiga island is about 1 hour boat ride off the coast of Semporna town in Sabah. Along the boat ride, you will see clear blue/green water and below it, the coral and sea weeds. The island has a small population of sea Bajau people who live in wooden houses built on stilts in water. They make a living off the sea.

The islanders are very friendly and simple people. I find the island very natural and unspoiled. It is simply fascinating that the world here is so much different, just 1 hour away from the mainland. You will get to see real basic human lifestyle, what could have been a long time ago. A very educational trip to see this island.

Bonjour Adrian,
Une luminosité particulière qui me donne l'impression d'être dans un rêve de coton avec ce ciel.
Une très bonne gestion des couleurs, ce POV est remarquable.
Bonne journée
