Photo Love/Travel Log {Inspiration}: Sunset in Phuket, Thailand

November 7, 2011
Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky.
Rabindranath Tagore

phuket sunset -by Chic n Cheap Living

I saw the most beautiful sunset in Phuket, Thailand a few weeks ago  The kaleidoscope of colors, the variations of light, and the feeling of serenity are ideas I can only hope to capture with the images above.  We took the last minute trip to Phuket right after a particularly busy time at my day job so this tropical escape was certainly welcome.  I loved sitting on a boat and slowly watching the transformation of color and texture in the sky.  I couldn’t help taking quite a few shots because they all felt a little different to me.  While clouds here have come bearing rain for the last month or so (and will continue to do so for a few month), the clouds as part of this Thai sunset bore an entirely different feeling.  I’ll have to post the rest of my pictures soon and carry the memory of this beautiful experience for a long time.

What images have changed your perspective on something so familiar?

Have a lovely week!

    aww i love Phuket. There are soo many beautiful sunsets in the world – some of my faves would have to be in Hawaii – in Maui over looking honolua bay watching the hardcore surfers below while a perfectly orange ball descended upon us. My ultimate fave though, are those in Southern Africa on safari. Having a sundowner (ie drinks) and watching the biggest, brightest sun ever set slowly on the horizon.

  • Lady G November 10, 2011 at 12:55

    The sunset is so pretty.

  • honey my heart November 10, 2011 at 20:44

  • […] bright blue skies, stunning rock formations used in classic movies, and sunsets the perfect shades of pink- I suppose I can see why he loves it […]

  • […] a pristine beach surrounded by serene, richly hued, blue water.  It is no wonder he loves going to Phuket.  We stayed at Serenity Phuket twice and were actually introduced to the hotel through a Groupon! […]
