The first day of fasting in the month of Ramadan this year, my friends and I decided to go for an evening walk or ngabuburit while enjoying the village atmosphere. We passed the road in the middle of the rice fields in Gledagang Village, where the afternoon view felt so calm and peaceful. The blue sky with clouds starting to change color towards dusk, the green rice growing abundantly, and the gentle breeze blowing, make the atmosphere even more serene.
While walking, I took several photos of the tranquility of the rice fields that afternoon. I also saw a flock of birds flying high in the sky, forming an interesting pattern, and without hesitation I captured it in a picture.
After enjoying the village atmosphere, we continued our journey until we arrived at Meuligoe Village. There, we stopped for a while because my friend wanted to inflate his motorbike's tires. I looked around and realized that the atmosphere was still quite quiet. Maybe because this is the first day of fasting, there aren't many people selling on the roadside as usual.
I also took several photos around the fuel filling station and the surrounding stalls which were still not too busy. This Ramadan feels so different, there is a certain calm in this afternoon's journey.
