It was time to turn my camera to the west, and there I saw the shadow of Mount Kinabalu cast upon the early morning haze.
In the mid-ground you can clearly make out the coastline at Kota Kinabalu, some 37 miles (60 km) distant from Laban Rata on Mount Kinabalu.
In this shot, the sun hangs just above the horizon of the South China Sea. About a quarter of the way up the frame you can make out the coast at Kota Kinabalu which is 37 miles (60 km) distant from where I was on Mount Kinabalu at Laban Rata.
In the photo below a fellow traveler is capturing the sun setting into the South China Sea as we watched from the helipad at Laban Rata. The humidity hangs in the valleys in a purple haze. Just below the sun you can make out the coastline. It was strange for me to think that 48 hours previously I’d been at sea level in Miri, Sarawak and now here I was at 11,000 feet watching the sun descend.
This photo of supply boats on the Sungai Belait (Belait River) is the last slide I shot in Brunei.
