Nuclear island sunsets (Zeavola, Phi Phi, Thailand)

I am not one prone to firework “woows” and “awwws” or sunset “ooos” and “ahhhs.”  However, the nuclear sunset from Phi Phi Island, Thailand was worth an “ooo,” “woow,” “awww” and an “ahhh.”  

There was only one thing flagitious about the day.  Many mzungus (fa-rang) grumbled about the fickle weather as thunderstorms pounded the shore and rumbled across the horizon.  Isn’t there beauty in rare weather?  Isn’t there loveliness in lightening bolts splitting the cerulean blue?  If all one wants is a fission-induced bronze (or actually “race-car red”), stick to the European tanning beds…more beach for me.
