Sunset over Bora Bora from altitude at dusk. The whole island visible — central peak dark against a sky layered in purple, pink, orange, deep blue. The lagoon wraps around the island in concentric shades of teal and slate, motu lights just beginning to show. The clouds catch the last color from a sun already below the horizon. Ocean surface mirrors the sky’s mood. Bora Bora from the ground is a postcard. From the air at sunset, it’s geography — a volcanic plug in the middle of a coral ring, the whole structure visible at once.
