π Rushing to the small island where I gathered with friends at the last moment, it was almost dark. My companions had already started brewing tea around the stove. I hurriedly sat down and was handed a handful of pistachios. Tried to chase the sunset with a drone at sunset, but it was too late, only captured a bit of the afterglow. Stepping onto the island from the floating bridge, friends were taking a group photo. Corners caught in the group photo were happy smiling faces. Before I could even eat my pistachios, my friends were already rushing off to dinner. I shouted at their receding figures in a hurry: Wait for me 5 minutes!
That's how these warm photos under the sunset afterglow came to be. After taking photos, hurried back to the coffee shop on the shore βοΈ only to find the warm light of the coffee shop seemed close yet unreachable. Okay okay, snap a pic.
