10 Unforgettable Minutes in Komodo｜A Sunset Canopy of 10,000 Bats

🌇 As the sun dipped below the horizon, Kalong Island faded into a silhouette. Suddenly, the first bat took flight—followed by thousands more! The sky erupted with swirling black wings, their whooshing sounds tearing through the air like a celestial rift.

🚢 Our boat drifted silently in the sea, bathed in the golden glow of dusk. Above us, the pink-orange sky danced with bat swarms; below, the waves shimmered with liquid gold. Time stood still as nature’s epic unfolded before our eyes💫

✨Tips: Bat exodus occurs 10-15 mins after sunset, lasting ~20 mins! Crank up ISO + shutter speed—wide-angle for the scene, telephoto for details.
