The white dome of an observatory open to the night sky

1 min read

Traded the city lights for a few days of quiet in Langkawi. It’s a completely different energy when you aren’t surrounded by skyscrapers, just some macaques hanging out on the cliffs and natural views. The highlight is definitely the stars, It’s rare to see a sky this clear without all the city glare getting in the way. Just a nice, simple reminder of how big the world actually is.

A clear night sky over Langkawi, packed with stars above a dark forest line.
A massive scientific telescope inside the dark observatory, ready for a night of stargazing.
A pale moon suspended in the twilight sky, framed between traditional shophouses and modern skyscrapers.
A lone macaque sitting on a branch against a rugged, grey limestone rock face.
Looking down at the islands and the hazy blue ocean from a high mountain viewpoint.
A chill beach sunset with soft purple and orange clouds reflecting over the ocean.
