Description
Tranquility Bay on the island of Bora Boar in the South Pacific. Really, that’s the name! How cool is that?😎 I had been photographing all afternoon and was on my way back home as the sun was setting. With no clouds in the sky it didn’t look like much of a sunset. But the silhouette of the boats would add a great compositional element. As we were motoring along I saw this classic old sailing vessel up ahead and knew the sun would line up as we passed. I was shooting 4x5 film at the time and could use it carefully hand held. I got setup and as we passed I pulled the trigger. I hope that sailing dinghy had oars as there was no wind. I think this shot beautifully illustrates the name of the bay. I wonder if that person sailing around has a cold beer in his hand.
If you look closely you can see the waves breaking on the barrier reef (looks like a black line when not enlarged) and a small island also on the barrier reef. Enjoy!
