I couldn't find the perfect spot to photograph the sunset phenomenon. The sun continues to move below the horizon, and I continue to hurry toward the spot I desire. However, halfway there, I realize that I will not reach the spot I want. Rather than not getting any photos at all, I park my vehicle in the area of Jalan Elak (avoidance road), surrounded by rice fields, in the Krueng Seunong village, Kuta Makmur sub-district, North Aceh.
In the direction of the sunset, namely to the west, it does not show a perfect view, while to the north I find an interesting view, the reflection of the orange sunset, and an interesting landscape view to capture. That is a view of the rice fields and settlements of Seuneubok Village, Blang Mangat District, Lhokseumawe, Aceh.
The rice fields there have just been planted with rice, it has become a custom there that farmers who own rice fields are obliged to plant rice simultaneously, that is a customary settlement agreement. Approximately in the next 3 months, the rice there will turn yellow and can be harvested.
Look, there is a scarecrow in the paddy fields. It is usually used to scare off grain-eating birds, and farmers set them up even before the rice has fully grown. I think the grain-eating birds are not afraid of scarecrows anymore 馃檪, who knows?
The call to evening prayer resonates from nearby mosques, indicating the time transition from day to night has arrived. Herons fly back home to the northwest, while I return home in the opposite direction, towards the southeast.
