Capture a Sunset and Tell Us How It Feels // Mobile Phone Photography Contest - #120


Sometimes we don't need a very expensive place to find beauty, but the most honest beauty is found in simple places, as I experienced when I found this beauty in a plantation area.

Good evening, HIVE friends, wherever you are. As always, I hope you are all healthy and happy, so you can go about your daily activities smoothly, and I hope you all have a pleasant day.

In this blog, I want to share some pictures I took with my mobile phone with my beloved community. This is also my participation in a contest held by my brother untilwelearn@untilwelearn, which has entered its 120th round.

So, keep following this simple blog to see some of these pictures and stories about them.

Sunset Among the Areca Nut Trees
In this blog, I'll be sharing some images I took inside the plantation. I'm not overlooking the important point mentioned in the contest rules, which states that the main attraction of this contest isn't the camera, but the story itself, which greatly enhances the judging process.
So, photos from my phone plus stories, with memories or feelings behind them. The first thing I'll share is the sunset among the trees.

My friends...
The above are some images showing towering areca nut trees, and through the gaps between their leaves, I can see the sun beginning to set, setting a golden orange sky.
At that moment, I felt as if nature was giving me a little break to enjoy this stunning natural beauty after a busy day on the plantation.

Pathway in the Middle of the Plantation
Next, I also captured a path amidst the greenery. This small, simple dirt path is flanked by palm and banana trees, along with some towering grass.

There's nothing special about this image, but it feels so serene that I can't even describe it with words.

My friend...
At that moment, I began to see the sky, which was a stunning color after a sunny day, and the sun was beginning to set, casting a faint orange hue on the horizon. I hope that through the images I've shared, you can get a glimpse of the view I experienced on this plantation, as well as the serenity it felt.

Orange Sky Over the Hill
Next, I didn't miss the opportunity to capture the orange sky on the hill. From there, I saw the sun half-setting from the hill, with gray clouds refracting the light pink and golden.

In this moment, all my problems seemed small, especially since it brought me a sense of peace, especially since I was the only one with the sky. For a moment, I felt grateful to still be able to witness the beauty and moment of this sunset, even in a simple plantation area.

So, those are some of the images and a short story from me on this blog as my entry into the mobile photography contest, which has now entered its 120th round.

Finally, I'd like to conclude.
I'd like to say that no matter what camera we use, even expensive ones, the most honest thing is the camera we always carry with us, and one of those is our mobile phone. I believe that what makes a picture feel alive isn't the resolution, but the memories and feelings, and then the stories we write after capturing that moment.

So, through this blog post, I'd like to invite all my friends, especially those who have read my simple blog, to enter the mobile photography contest held by untilwelearn@untilwelearn, which is now entering its 120th round. I find the contest very interesting, especially with the sponsors who are so enthusiastic about giving away simple tips to those of us who participate.

Thank you very much to all of you who have taken the time to view and read my blog to the end.

Leave your comments, support, or input that means a lot to me so I can make a better blog in the future and see you in the next contest.
