Hummock point, at sunset watching the noddies, frigates and boobies return to land for the night. The barren beauty of the colour gradient on the slopes is stunning as the light fades.

Something I have not had to cook myself with lots of fresh salad.
What is your favourite time of day?
Early morning before it gets hot, when there is a cool freshness in the air.
