It was the last day of our minimalism trip in Ternate, Indonesia. Time was not on our side as we have only a few hours to spare. One of our friends suggested this beach along the coast of Ternate, that had a few trees living out of water. This row of trees looked strong to survive in a harsh environment. Our challenge was to find the best composition to capture and tell the story. Eventually, I walked along the coast, a distance away from the rest to find this spot that will align the trees in a single row, thereby eliminated some of the distraction.
