Postcard from a Gili Trawangan sunset

My first night in Gili Trawangan, I watched an absolutely phenomenal sunset from a beachside restaurant and alternated between cursing myself for leaving my camera at home and simply enjoying the view without a viewfinder. I spent the next few nights stretching into sun salutations at dusk, and emerging to skies drunk with stars.

So my last night on Gili T, I was determined to capture a killer sunset. Sipping Bintangs with Aussie-English honeymooers under a thatched-roof hut on the western edge of the island, we wondered if the storm clouds would hide or help the sunset. Scroll to the bottom of this post, and you’ll see the result.
