Sunset at Ambon Bay, Ambon, Maluku, Indonesia

Sunset.

There is something magical about it that, most of the time, successfully take my breath away.

I’m not always chasing it but whenever I got a chance to see it, I try to capture it.

With my heart and my lenses.

Here are a few photos I took during the sunset at Ambon Bay.

Ambon, the capital city of Maluku province (or Mollucas in English), has long been known as the center of spices, particularly nutmegs, bestowed with amazing natural landscape and wrapped in beautiful traditions. It has been inaugurated as UNESCO’s City of Music in November 2019, along with other 65 cities across the globe. I was lucky to visit this amazing city back in November 2018. Although it was a working visit, I managed to see the beauty of Ambon. It took us around 3 and a half hours direct flight or around 5 and a half hours indirect flight (with one transit) from Jakarta to Ambon. Located in the eastern part of Indonesia, many people visit Ambon for its gorgeous nature and rich history.

We went to Wailela Cafe, located in J;. M. Putuhena, Rumah Tiga, Ambon, to enjoy this amazing sunset.

It was a great time spent with friends over delicious munchies and fantastic sunset.

What a day!

Ambon is also famous for its pristine beaches and top - notch snorkeling and diving spots.

The islands dotting around are also worth a visit, like Banda and Kei islands.

I can’t wait to go back there and explore more of Ambon and Maluku’s beauty!

Do you like sunset as well?

It is very good photo in Indnesia.

Many tourlists may not vistit easy Kota Ambon becaus this island is so far from Jakarta.
