Seafood dinner on the beach … Sounds pretty exotic and enticing … right ? What could happen ?
Mother Nature.
When Mother Nature steps in and takes over, exotic seafood dinner fades into background … becomes secondary to what happens around you !
The story …
It is said … “an image paints a thousand words” … and here it is …
And another …
And another …
And another …
And yet another …
Sensational, magical atmosphere surrounding night sky over Penang Island …
And light show continued for over an hour … constantly changing colours … moving clouds over city skyline … simply electrifying …
Where is it
Standing on Pantai Bersih beach, mainland Malaysia, across from Penang Island; colours splash across darkening sky … from dusk – vibrant, bright to deep yellows turning hues of orange, deepening to dark reds, deepest purples and blues … as sun continues to drop towards horizon.
Dinner all but forgotten; mesmerised by this electric, magical atmosphere surrounding beach front … time capsule encasing scene … continues to develop, evolve, change, minute by minute … until darkness finally captures the night.
What a sight ! Just amazing !
Cannot take eyes away from horizon, lest you miss what is happening in front of you … simply sensational !
No sunset is the same, no night sky similar, every sunset tells a different story … every horizon, every sky captures a different perspective … no matter where you are … gazing upon the same sky.
Wonders of Mother Nature !
Take time out – appreciate your surroundings … see and feel vibrant energies in environment … look up, look around … beauty surrounds us … always.
And Dinner
Oh, back to seafood dinner – was fresh and delicious … but only close second to the magical colour light show displayed over Penang Island !
Somehow, Mother Nature’s night spectacular has satiated and nourished instead.
