The beaches at Gunung Kidul south of Jogyakarta are difficult to reach and too far a drive from Jogyakarta to spend the night there. So we spent the night in a small hotel on the beach. We left in the dark by car on small hard roads and at one point between rice fields on dirt roads to the beach. Once there, we were not the only ones who wanted to enjoy nature, but there were also students from Yogyakarta camping on the beach. I quickly set up my tripod and took this photo before sunrise. I enjoyed the pastel colors and the pink and magenta colors in the sky. The somewhat dark clouds give some drama to the photo as well.
