[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Following the itinery given by our Sabah trek group, we ended up at the northern most Tip of Borneo where you can see sunrise and sunset at the same spot. The warm crystal clear tropical water is extremely tempting, but we had enough of that a couple of days earlier on the islands off the east coast, getting bad sunburn.

This is truely an unspoil beach. Getting down to it from where I stand can be risky. The descend is pretty steep. So I can only take a photo for sharing with the TE friends.

Thanks for viewing and critiques.

Wow. Excellent high angle capture well presented in vertical format, Alfred. I'm sure you have heard about the D80 kit lens not up to par but you have proved the critiques wrong. I have no complain of the lens myself. Flawless sharpness with vivid details. I like the clear water under pleasant lighting. well done and best regards. Jusni

Hi Alfred. Beautiful clear water, must have been very temping all the same. Great photo. Good colours and excellent composition. Good choice of vertical format. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers, Paul.

Dear Fred,
The only safe way to get down to the beach is around the promontory to it. Usually in the late afternoon, the tide is low enough to go walking there. Next time, you should take a dip :) This is the part of Sabah where the sea water is fresh and devoid of much pollutants. If it was fresh water, you could drink it too.

Thank you for finding time to come to my home town. Hope to do the same with yours this year.
