Komodo Dragon, Rinca Island.

Right after touching down Labuan Bajo and checked in to the hotel. There are still time before sunset.
I decided to go to Bukit Sylvia which according to local, it has one of the best sunset in the city of Labuan Bajo.

When in Rinca Island, I thought this would be the highlight from my first day. Great Komodo action photo, perfect clear weather which is great for landscape panoramic view of the island.

But, I was wrong!
It is even better In Padar Island. The weather was perfect, great weather with golden sunset, suddenly lit up the whole island from green savanna hill into golden field as you can see from this photo.

By this time I was overwhelmed by the beauty of this place.
I would say, this is the first time in my photography career that my photos can’t justify the beauty of the place. At some point, I even just put down my camera and enjoy the view. (I missed many shot, but I’m totally fine with it! :)) Trust me, you have to be here to really get it! Not just through the photos available throughout the internet.
