Description
I was lucky with this image, it was the first sunset that happened on this trip to Asia!
Phuket (Thai: ภูเก็ต, pronounced [pʰūː.k�t]), formerly known as Thalang (Tha-Laang) and, in Western sources, Junk Ceylon (a corruption of the Malay Tanjung Salang, i.e. "Cape Salang"), is one of the southern provinces (changwat) of Thailand. Neighbouring provinces are (from north clockwise) Phang Nga and Krabi, but as Phuket is an island it has no land boundaries.
Phuket, which is approximately the size of Singapore, is Thailand�s largest island. The island is connected to mainland Thailand by two bridges. It is situated off the west coast of Thailand in the Andaman Sea. Phuket formerly derived its wealth from tin and rubber, and enjoys a rich and colorful history. The island was on one of the major trading routes between India and China, and was frequently mentioned in foreign ship logs of Portuguese, French, Dutch and English traders. The region now derives much of its income from tourism.

Pete, this is an awesome sky photo you have managed to capture the various colors as the sun is setting right on the horizon and you have captured the various colors it has left in the sky with such clarity and crispness. The colors are remarkable and the detail is great. Fantastic background shot of the sun hitting that horizon right where the sky and water meet and reflecting off of the water. Excellent shot, voted, FB/ G+/T promoted for CFC Round #26
