August 23 – 26, 2013
One major difference in cruising now verses our time in Mexico and Hawaii 15 years ago: digital cameras! We can shoot away without worry about conserving film. In a place like Fulaga where the changing light continually alters the look of the surroundings, we can take as many photos as we like.
As the light changes in our anchorage, different things come to the forefront: the rock islands might be highlighted against a shadowy background, or fall under a shadow while the background white beaches light up. At times the water glows bright blue, while other times it darkens in the golden evening light, which then highlights the green vegetation. At dawn the sky is the highlight, alight with color. The evenings seemed subdued and dusky compared to the sunrises, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see a gorgeous sunset.
Above is gallery of the changing light at various times of the day. Below is a two-part video, one taken the other the later afternoon after we arrived, the second at sunrise. –Cyndi
