LandscapePhotography – Barren Beach in Borneo, Malaysia, on a Grey, Overcast Day

This is my entry into the LandscapePhotography contest by @juliank.

It was taken on a barren beach on the island of Borneo, near the small town of Santubong.

The sky was grey, rainy, and overcast. The beach was quiet, calm, and very beautiful.

The umbrella adds an enchanting juxtaposition of images. Reading your comments, I learned that you placed the umbrella there. Good idea! also good that you’re not a photojournalist in that respect. Do you know how the tree ended up there? Was there a recent Hurricane. Also, You’ve been throughout SE Asia, Nepal, India...Have you stuck to that area or have you been around the world?

I try to ensure that there's some bright accent in any photo I take. On this grey and dull day, the only bright item was the brilliant rainbow-color umbrella that I had borrowed from the guesthouse. Just a lucky coincidence. I positioned it appropriately and snapped the photo.

The beach was deserted, but there were quite a few fallen trees scattered along it. Most of them had obviously been there for a long time, such as this one. All the leaves and bark were gone, leaving just a smooth, shiny trunk and branches

I lived in India for 4 years, and in Singapore for 5 years, giving me plenty of opportunity to travel around India, a bit of South Asia, and most countries in SE Asia, some several times. I also lived in Japan, and traveled a bit in Europe, mostly just stopovers on the long trip to/from Asia.

Over the years, I found that SE Asia is a very pleasant place to travel. So, I moved to Thailand a few months back, and will settle down here for a while.

Love how the sky is darker and lighter.

Yes, it was like that most of the day. Dark grey skies, but light shining through in certain places. Very moody but very pleasant.

The photo turned out "delicious". Want smotrety him without stopping. The umbrella is gorgeous on this background. Know how to catch the moment of beauty!)

That's really good picture Majesty, especially the touch of the colorful umbrella. Its adding life to the barren land.

Every photo needs an accent or a highlight.

On that grey day, there was nothing bright anywhere in sight ... but fortunately, I had borrowed that umbrella from the guesthouse!

Amazing photo. And this wonderful multicolored umbrella was lying here, or did you add some decorations?

Великолепное фото. А этот чудесный разноцветный зонт так тут и лежал, или Вы немного добавили декораций?

I was carrying that umbrella on that rainy day. It obviously came in handy when I came across these photo opps on the beach.

This umbrella makes with beautiful pictures - gorgeous.
