Purple Haze

Some of the most amazing sights I come across in my travels are above water.

Take this sunset for example:

sunset in port moresby

I took this picture last year in Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea, just outside the yacht club. I’m a huge fan of diving in PNG, but I don’t think most people would associate the city of Port Moresby with the word “beautiful”.

Well, on this evening…just before we departed for the Eastern Fields…Port Moresby was certainly beautiful.

The entire city was bathed in a breathtaking, iridescent purple glow at sunset.

    Tony,

    Eerily beautiful. I have seen similar sunsets in Indonesia……unfortunately, such sunsets are oftentimes the result of particulate pollution in the air. The Indonesian sunsets I mentioned earlier, were during the time of the widespread fires several years ago.

    Fortunately, I don’t think this one was due to pollution. It was a beautiful, clear day. Just one of those spectacles nature offers us from time to time
