Photographers prize “the golden hour” – a non-precise term for something that occurs twice-daily on days when the sun is not entirely obscured by clouds.
Shortly after sunrise and shortly before sunset the sun nears the horizon, and “our” planet is bathed in flattering, “honeyed” light.

Pinisi – aka “Sulawesi schooners” – are uniquely Indonesian.
They are uncommonly lovely/elegant, wooden-hulled sailing boats.

During “golden hour” Raja Ampat can resemble a giant, decorated “infinity pool”…as, eventually, a multi-image Pelican Yoga post will further illustrate.
