Pantai Pasir Putih, Manokwari, Irian Jaya Barat

I recently made a three-day trip to Manokwari, Western Papua. Now, it is part of Irian Jaya Barat Province, Indonesia. It is quite far from Jakarta, 4 hours flight. However, it was a pleasant journey.

I will share with you some of pictures captured in this region, including beautiful places, varieties of local orchids, and other interesting native plants.

I start with this beautiful white sand beach [local name is Pantai Pasir Putih]. Good things about this beach are it is not only beautiful but also very quiet, not many visitors come to this hide-out place, including on weekend, when this picture was captured....

I feel very fortunate to have the opportunity to spend time on this wonderful place....

Hello Benyamin,
Beautiful beach especially clean and turquoise sea. Just can not figure out what it is at the edge of water in the foreground. TFS.

Hello Ben,
A good beach scenery, very attractive place!
The sky telling about rainy season, seems like those clouds contain some humidity...
I like the diagonal shoreline, and the fading blue in a distance!
Greetings,

Hi Ben,
That looks like paradise to me! Beautiful seascape. Colors and detail are excellent from the spot on exposure. I love the clouds adding great texture in the sky. The best part is lack of people to spoil it.

Hi Ben,
oh this really makes me want to go on a vacation. Very nice beach scene, the best part, there are no people ;-). Great POV to get a nice view of this scenery.

Hi Ben,
This is tranquility at its best. Beach, palm trees and a a sunny day. The composition is good and so are the colors and exposure in the FG and MG. But the BG with the sky looks a little strange to me. The color of the clouds and sky seem to be mixed together. Did you do any PP work on the BG?
TFS,
Niek

This is a stunning place! So beautiful! I like these colours very well saturated and this great POV

Hi Benyamin, this is a nice paradise scene. I like the composition and colours. I'm left wondering about the sky. It looks a little processed to me. Had you done much PP work?

Nice shot.

Hello Ben!

This photo is like a dream! I'm dweller of Northern Hemisphere, hater of darkness, frost and snow and this seascape is something which I very often dream about. Superb shot! Every element is perfect. I like especially strange clouds formations and colour of water. Thank you!

Preciosa imagen con ese mar.... agradable composición, una luz envidiable, muy buenos detalles.
Saludos Benyamin.

I want to swim here, Ben! It is well captured with all the necessary elements. But it's -20C (0F) here at home, so I may not be completely rational in trying to evaluate the shot. But this just looks so warm and inviting...

Hi Ben, I am sure it has been a pleasant journey to you in Manokwari. I like the clouds texture here and the gradation color of the water. I wonder how's the daily life there, must be very peace and quiet ... Cheers,
