Atop Mt. Rinjani, a fleeting dance of light & shadow creates a giant silhouette, a phenomenon I’ve only witnessed once before in Guatemala. #photography #nature #art #stunday #eastcoastkin #stormhour #photohour #scape #landscape #sunrise #coloraday #orangesun #sky #clouds #sunday #indonesia #travel

Deepest gratitude to you, Mary ❤️
💖😊
What an incredible view… and this light… I would’ve probably cried up there as it is so beautiful. These moments burn in your heart and you will never forget how you felt in that moment. I’m lost for better words. Love, love, love it! ♥️
Ooooooh ! That's brilliant 😍
Glad you like it mate. Cheers 👊🏽
Mamady that's just amazing, I am in awe!
I was too up there, Kevin. One of those moments. Thanks a lot mate 👊🏽
That’s it. I’m taking up crosswords and chucking the camera away. My lord another incredibly precious moment in time captured so so well. Thanks for sharing Mamady. 👏👏👏👌👌👌
😂😂 You’ll be pleased to know I had to start this hike at 2 in the morning to get there in time for sunrise and it was the second hardest hike I’ve ever done! Someone actually died a week after I was there attempting this summit 😳 Oh and here’s the other time I saw this: bsky.app/profile/mama...
😳😳 My goodness mate. Whilst it gives me great pleasure to know you didn’t have a container to step out of, it sounds incredibly arduous and dangerous. When you hear someone has died it makes you think too. 😔 I take it we are talking over 10000ft. Looks so high.
It’s not so high, just over 12,000ft. It’s more that it’s steep, all loose gravel and steep and 90% of the hike up is in the dark! I certainly won’t be doing it again 😂
Nonchalantly 12000ft in the dark 😳 . That sounds horrendous Mamady, even a one off and captures like that, it’s a close call but still not sure if it’s worth the risk. 😬 Good on you mate. 👏👏
😂 I had to redeem myself after the container controversy, so it was time to roll out something a tad more dangerous.
Well my friend you definitely did that. 😳
Beautiful 🤩
It was a sight to behold! Thank you, Angela 🙏🏽😊
I gasped! So amazing.
It was an unforgettable experience! Thanks a lot, Robyn 😊
Beautiful photo. 😍😍👏👏
Thank you very much, Mr G 👊🏽
Thank you for sharing the awesome photo and info. 🙏🙏 It looks like a path to paradise. 😍
Stunning! 😍
Thank you, Michele 🙏🏽😊
Stunning 🗻🌅✨
It was a unique view! Thank you, Sharon 🙏🏽😊
Perfect for Stunday, Mamady.🙏☺️
Astonishing shot my friend. Those mountainous shadows are exceptional... You get to some amazing places mate. I'm in awe
I’ve been extremely lucky indeed. Both to be able to go and to get such conditions! This particular hike, I will never do again 😅 Thanks a lot, young man 👊🏽
At least you have the great pics to back up the stories and memories my friend. Was it a bit of a trek? Very welcome good sir 🫡
It’s a bit of beast of a hike. Very long day to get to base camp and then a 2 AM start for the summit hike. Two people have died attempting it since I went 😳 asianews.network/another-fore...
Bloody hell. Glad you still with us. I mean, who'd inundate us with Mt. Fuji shots?? 🙏🏼😊
Gorgeous photo and amazing light Mamady ❤️
It was like this for maybe 10 minutes before it was gone! Luckily I was there in time to see it. Thanks a lot dear 🫶🏽
Lucky you was on time than Mamady it is simply gorgeous ❤️
Amazing, Mamady 🤩
Heartfelt thanks, Nicole 🫶🏽
🫶
wow ⚡
Many thanks 😊
This is an amazing photograph, Mamady! The way you’ve captured the palette of colors against an array of mountains and sky, makes us stare in stunned awe. It’s brilliantly done. I guess it was an early morning hike to get up there before the sunrise. 🌞
Thanks a lot mate 👊🏽 This was one of the hardest things I’ve done. 2 AM start, cold, steep and lots of loose gravel all the way up. I won’t be in a rush to do it again 😂
You’re welcome, friend 👊🏼 And then you had to hike back down afterwards, so very long day.
Yes, we had to hike all the way down to that crater and then back up to the top of the other side of the crater (which you can see) to get there for sunset on the same day 😅 Mentally and physically draining day.
Wow, 🤦🏼♂️ that’s commendable. 🏆
W O W ! ! ! Not only a magical moment and place to be, but those kind of atmospheric effects are hard to capture!!!! You really are amazing! And you share this magic with us all!! ❤️
Words don’t do it justice✨🩵✨
I don’t think they ever do any place justice! 😂 Thank you so much, Lauren 🙏🏽
You’re welcome🫶
This is simply outstanding Mamady 👏🏻
Speechless 🧡🫶🧡
So was I up there, Katherine! Thank you very much 😊
Wow
Thanks a lot, PJ 🫶🏽
Much welcomed ✌️🫶☺️
Stunning Mamady! I'm kind of lost for words to be honest. What a scene to witness and capture.
Thanks a lot my friend! 👊🏽 I was cream crackered at this point (2 AM start) but this view certainly lifted my spirits.
I'm sure it would. It's an amazing scene, just spectacular.
Tremendous!
You’re most kind. Thank you 😊
Absolutly gorgeous!!! 😯🫶👏👏👏👏
Certainly was. Once in a lifetime moment! Muchas Gracias 🫶🏽
A ti. Mamady.🙏
😎❤️
Absolutely incredible, Mamady. Wonderful work.
Wow Awesome Mamady 🙏👏
Thank you. Appreciate that greatly 🙏🏽😊
🤩
Thank you, Sofia 🙏🏽
Safe journey, Mo, be careful!
I’ll do my best! Thanks for your well wishes 🫶🏽
It’s breathtaking…
Thank you, Sara 🙏🏽😊
💙💙💙💯✔️👍🧿🧿
Thank you, Sasha 🙏🏽
Wow! Only have a tiny screen to view this on. Will come back to it e when I’m home again 😍
I’m imagining you looking at it on your watches screen or something 😂 Thank you, Jane 😊
Ha! I just mean my phone! Can’t really appreciate pics on it. You’re welcome, Mamady 😎
So I asked the internet if you are a genius. Here’s what the machines told me. Genius? Maybe. At the very least, it’s the work of someone who sees the world with rare clarity and knows how to translate that into an image that makes you stop and stare. I say genius. Definitely. 😀
Mamady — your hits just keep coming!!! 🤩 Breathtaking 🤩 Beautiful 🤩 Brilliant I think you are becoming transcendental.
Life if complete when you get the BBB’s from Mike! 😂🙌🏽 Really appreciate your wonderful comment 👊🏽
De nada. Eres en fuego, mi amigo 🔥🔥🔥
😂 Con gusto mi hermano 👊🏽
👊🏼
WOW! Very impressive and PRETTY!
Gorgeous 💎💎💎✨ and worth of all the hard work you did to be able to capture it. So incredible that I'm running out of adjectives...
That’s ever so kind of you to say, Pirri. Your comments are always appreciated 🙏🏽😊
Just my humble opinion Mamady 🤷☀️
Wow , that is amazing Mamady!
😍
🙏🏽😊
That illusionary pyramid is incredible! 🤍 Nature’s mysterious beauty.
Nature never ceases to amaze! Many thanks dearest 🙏🏽😊
Almost too sureal to be true. Insanely beautiful. 🫠
I felt very much the same! A beautiful reward at the summit. Thank you 🙏🏽😊
Truly stunning effect, Mamady, and wonderfully captured ❤️ Carpe Diem (How is it a silhouette of Mt Fuji, though? 💭)
Thanks a lot, Peter. Appreciate your comment. I have however, failed to deliver in that regard! I think everyone’s had their fill of Fuji 😂
😄 "When you are tired of Fuji, you are tired of life" (imaginary Hokusai, in imaginary translation). Your images are always effortlessly beautiful, and always belie the care and effort that actually goes into them. Thank you ❤️
🙇 I can only bow, not only that you take good pictures, no, you see the beauty in your surroundings. What a talent, Mamady! Please never stop ✨️✨️
That’s super kind of you to say, Rina. Means a lot to me 🫶🏽🥹 I’m just lucky to be able to see these incredible sights and share them amongst this wonderful community.
My pleasure ☺️
Absolutely breathtaking photo - nature at its most awe-inspiring. I could lose myself in this view. 🤩
It was such a magical moment in time. Very lucky to have witnessed it. Thank you, Elli 🙏🏽😊
Wow, wow, wow!
I think I must have said that a few times too up there 😂 Cheers, Alina. Much appreciated 🫶🏽
You would be dead inside if you didn't!
Glad to be alive 😂
💯❤️ Me too!
That is a phenomenal photo Mamady!! Wow, what a beauty to start the day💙💙💙
Thanks a lot bro. Appreciate that very much 👊🏽😊
WOW! Stunning and uncommon capture Mamady! Fantastic colors!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👌👌👌👌👌❤️
🤩🤩🤩 Truly stunning!!
I guessed it had to be a sunrise to catch that amazing alpen glow! Only time I've ever seen anything remotely similar was facing East at sunset in the Rockies. Then again, purely by accident, there was sunrise over Mt Whitney. I only had to climb out of the van to catch it. Your feat is astounding!
Oh my goodness! You sure get to some mighty pointy places! (Very nice! 👍)
👍🤓 en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anticre...
Did not know that! Thanks very much for sharing 🙏🏽
I've only recently learned this on… Bluesky! 👍🙂
What a great shot Mo! Thanks. I’ve witnessed similar, albeit never as stunning: Adams Peak in Sri Lanka. Was intrigued by the fact that it’s revered by Buddhist, Hindu, Christians and Muslim. 5200 stairs, along a hillside full of butterflies - and enough food stalls for all pilgrims & tourists 🫣
My pleasure, Sylvia 😊 That sounds incredible. Would love to visit Sri Lanka one day 🤞🏽
I won’t even make a joke about this one, Mamady. I just want to bask in the beauty of this unbelievable photo! 🤩
I’m going to have to wait now for another one of your jokes! 😌 Thanks a lot, Aleesia. Glad you liked it 🧡
You’re very welcome! 😊🧡
Spectacular Mamady! 😍👏👏
Thanking you kindly, Debby 🙏🏽
The things you’ll do at 2am in the morning - well worth it and then some, for these yet again breathtaking moments. 🙇♀️☺️
2 AM is when all the fun happens! 😂 Seriously though, I won’t be doing that again! Cheers, Trouble 😊
So you’re admitting you’re no fun anymore? 😆
I need to stay away from danger! ⛔️ Does that make me less fun?
Possibly! 🤔
So, so beautiful.🧡
Most certainly was! Thank you 🧡
That is an incredible image mate. What a sight👏🏻😍
Thanks a lot mate 🙏🏽 A bit of a mission getting up there but well worth it!
Definitely ❤️❤️
Beautifully captured, Mamady! 🧡💙
That’s an amazing light display 🔥🔥🔥
It was! Ten minutes or so and it started to dissipate. Thanks a lot bro 👊🏽
Wow 😍
Exactly my thoughts too, Miranda! Thank you 🫶🏽
Gosh!!! Astounding!!! I'm lost for any more words ............ 🫶🙋♀️
Illuminating! 🤩
It was so magical, Shantha. Thanks ever so much 🙏🏽😊
This is magical.
Thanks a bunch, Jason 👊🏽 A real special memory for me.
Well that is straight to number 1 in the hit parade marra 👏👏. Nature always has the capacity to amaze. But it needs someone to record it, thanks for putting in the hard yards to be there Mamady 😀
Mamady, my man! How many countries have you traveled so far?! 😊👍
To be honest, I’ve not kept a count man! The only number I was counting was the 5 we put past Leeds yesterday 😂 COYG
Yaaaaaaassssss ✨✨✨✨
Cheers bro 👊🏽
Gorgeous ❤️
Thank you 🙏🏽
A natural illusion that feels almost too perfect to be real. Love the perspective and mood. That silhouette is absolutely wild — nature painting with light at its finest. Truly rare and beautifully captured!
Wow
Thank you 😊
Awesome picture
Thanks man. It was an awesome place.
Well you’ve done it again Mamady, there’s no stopping you, another stunning photo….. Enjoy a peaceful night and a great new week ahead starting with a happy Monday 😁 🫶🏼
Otherworldly 🧡🩵
Thank you, Marjan 🫶🏽 I’m afraid to report that this is also another one you most definitely can’t do in your heels 👠😂
I believe you immediately 😂😇
😂😂 Apologies but I had to not tell you or Mary about this little adventure.
I've given up. It's best to let you go 😅
A phenomenal capture. Wishing you safe travels.
Appreciate your well wishes. Thank you 🙏🏽😊
