Twilight Magic

Sunset Views from Kri Eco Resort Dive Resort

As I sit on the deck of my water cabin, perched delicately over the crystalline waters of Raja Ampat, I am spellbound by the enchanting spectacle unfolding before me. The sun, a molten orb of fire, gracefully descends, casting a warm golden glow across the horizon. The sea beneath me gently laps against the stilts, creating a soothing melody that harmonizes with the whispers of the evening breeze.
From the vantage point of my wooden haven, I witness the dance of the dive crew and workers, their laughter resonating as they make their way down the jetty. Their camaraderie is infectious, and I can’t help but feel a part of the communal spirit that defines this place. The wooden structures of the dive centre, standing resiliently over the water, echo the simplicity and harmony that permeate Raja Ampat.
As the sky transitions through a palette of hues, the beauty of Mother Nature unfolds in layers. The distant islands become silhouettes against the darkening canvas, and the first rumblings of thunder signal the approaching spectacle of a tropical storm. The remote flashes of lightning illuminate the sky, creating a mesmerizing display that rivals any artificial light show.
At this moment, I am acutely aware that I am witnessing a slice of paradise. The convergence of elements—the sea, the sky, the laughter of the locals, and the imminent storm—creates a symphony of sensations that etches itself into my memory. This is not just a sunset; it is an immersive experience, a glimpse into nature’s raw and untouched beauty.
As darkness wraps its comforting cloak around the islands, I remain seated on my cabin deck, grateful to be a spectator in this heavenly theatre. Raja Ampat, with its tranquil waters and vibrant skies, has woven a tapestry of memories that will forever be etched in the fabric of my travels.
