This is a mood of the sunset at waterfront of Kuching city. At the left side of this view, the older buildings are being demolished to new development. This wooden structure would soon be gone. More landscape work will be forthcoming in the future when the new State Legislature building is completed across the north bank.

Sarawak River sunsets are in my opinion more spectacular and impressive than sunrises because of the mountains at its western end of river mouth. Most of the hotels and commercial buildings on the south bank have a view of the north and west, and this goes back to the historical chronology era that saw the south bank as active trading zone.

Remember to walk along the waterfront at sunset.

Hi Bill,
Awsome sunset composition at this pier, the colours look wonderful. Calm and peaceful atmosphere, a perfect place to relax and think. The positioning of the horizon and the reflection on the surface of the water are impressive as well. Great job! TFS:

Hello Bill.
Beautiful evening view with great colours and compo.
BUT, you did a sharpening, which is too good visuble on the water and adds some noise at the roof.
Better you should use a longer exposure time, with a smaller aperture.

Hi Bill,

The sunset is ving nice colors to the sky and is sending its golden rays on the sea. The point of view takes our eyes toward the nountains in the background which is giving depth to the photo. The scenery is well frame. Have a nice day.

Good morning Bill
Its a shame to think that soon there will be modern buildings replacing the charm the old buildings bring to the landscape, but what can you do its progress, and I'll bet those new buildings put up in a hurry won't last as long as the old ones did.
Marvelous colours in your sunset and its nice to see the structure on its stilts, giving your shot a lot of charm.

Hi Bill,

Your work with this excellent combination of apparatus are always brilliant and I was wondering if you ever need anything else since your sabah trip. Such a mastery capture of landscapes/seascapes/sunrise/sunsets and most are of top drawer quality. this one is of no exception. Flawless framing with well thought composition. Well done and keep pushing yourself (AND myself) for better images.

TFS and best regards,
Jusni
