In response to The Daily Post’s Weekly Photo Challenge: “Shine.”

“Has the sunshine or any other light source caused you to stop because it’s highlighting something you didn’t notice before?” Nancy Thanki asked on The Daily Post.

Indeed, I turned back and made a detour when I caught a glimpse of the water reflecting the sunlight in this photo. I needed to capture this image.

Then, I realised that a water canal could look so romantic, captivating, and mesmerising.

I was surprised at the sudden pop of beauty because I only there to catch some water-type Pokemon. I got a Golduck, Psyduck, Slowbro, and many Magikarps that day.

I stood rooted to that spot and breathed in that moment until the sun set completely.

This is one of two spots in Singapore that nearly guarantees crimson-violet sunsets on clear days. Crimson-violet sunsets depend highly on atmospheric conditions. A good angle, such as this,  is another condition.

Apart from catching Pokemon, I was there with the intention to chance upon a crimson-violet sunset.

Cocoa Cheers!
