Sunset at Sutera Harbour resort Kota Kinabalu

This can be considered as Part II of the earlier sunset posting here due to the lesser pictures policy for the energy blog.

To reach the location, drive straight through Jalan Sutera Harbour until you reach a roundabout. Keep right and at a distance of about 200m away, look out for an area overlooking South China Sea on the left-hand side. Its normally crowded during sunset and you won't miss it.


Welcome to the far end of Jalan Sutera Harbour.



You will not be alone as many others like to hangout here.



This boat is always there in case somebody fell into trouble while taking a dip or swimming too far out.

Early evening



As it got darker, you start taking long exposure shots

Good night!

Enjoying sunset at Tanjung Aru First Beach, Kota Kinabalu

Tanjung Aru 1^st beach is always swarmed by revelers on weekends. If you enjoy the company of the crowd then come on Saturdays or Sundays. Otherwise go on weekdays and you will have the beach all to yourself. No I was kidding! The 1^st beach is crowded almost everyday from 5.00pm onwards.

The atmosphere is great and everyone minds their own business in a nice way.

The following was shot recently during a weekend.


Welcome to Tanjung Aru beach, Kota Kinabalu's pride




 While waiting for the sun to set, why not give yourself some workout and try the Zumba









 or just sit back and watch them




 Football by the beach








 During good weather, you'll be able to see the 'fireball' disappear into the horizon












 Get some interesting perspective and go really low, yah!












 Long after the sun set, you can still enjoy the blue hour






Come visit Tanjung Aru when you drop by Kota Kinabalu. It's just 10 to 15 minutes drive from the city centre.

Let's watch a Sunset

Taken in Tg Aru beach sometime ago.

Would love to watch sunset today. Won't be able to make it but this will do. For now.

Sunset in Tanjung Aru

We have not been here for sometime now and weather was fine that day with some cloud in the sky to give some painting to the beautiful evening. To be honest, First Beach is not the location to look for if you don't fancy getting human silhouettes in your sunset shots.

Location: Tanjung Aru, First Beach. Kota Kinabalu Sabah.

From the First Beach one can see Third Beach on the far end

Fellow sunset lovers

Happy Easter 2012 and enjoy your long weekend!

Sunset in Tanjung Aru

 My very first sunset shot when I first played around with the D90. Everything was automatically set in camera setting "P".

Sunset in Pulau Tiga

.

Friendly people waiting.

Few months back, me and a group of friends embarked on an exciting weekend tour to Pulau Tiga, off Kuala Penyu on the West Coast of Sabah. Tiga is a Malay word for three, although you may not find a trio of island within sight of each other.

It is located about 10km off shore and if you prefer a day trip it is practical to do so but I would say spending a night there will be most suitable and recommended. We spent our weekend at Pulau Tiga Resort.

There is another lodging facility called Borneo Survivor Resort but it was still closed at the time of our visit. You can snorkel, swim, kayak on the clear waters or dive if you fancy going down under. Diving course fee is negotiable, too.

There is also the famous natural volcanic mud but that's for the upcoming entry.

Let's go!

During this time of the year, the sun set on the side of the island where jungle trekking is necessary to reach a useful spot. The less photographic alternative is the jetty in front of Sabah Parks facilities. It is a sturdy structure and you can set your tripod on it and not to worry about vibration.

I just love sunsets!

Out over the ocean, and it’s waves it lay,

A magnificent orange sphere, as it drops to the sea,

With spears descending from within the fire,

The magnificent beauty of the sunset each day,

An immanent display, for the world to share,

As it seeps below horizons, to end the day,

Only to share light, so that others may see,

The beauty of the sunset for all who care,

Up above the clouds, that shadow the light,

The rain, the snow, and the elements that blind,

That magnificent glow, that Brightens our world,

Another sunset awaits, just to share its light,

For all of us, sunset hunters.

Sharing a narrow path

Location: Along Sutera drive, off Coastal highway Kota Kinabalu. This man-made rocky shore is ideal for fishing while enjoying sunsets.

"Caught anything yet..?"
