This is from Nam Xay near Vang Vieng in central Laos.

It's a 30 minute hike to the top of the hill, and the karst mountainous landscape is beautiful on it's own.
We timed the trip to coincide with sunset, and we struck gold. A nice cloudy moody sky, but enough sunlight to like up the clouds.

Editing was straight forward, some basic HSL adjustments to bump up the saturation of the reds and oranges in the sunset, along with some minor basic adjustments to balance out the light. (I might even have used 'AUTO' adjustments)
