Hello everyone..
A small reservoir covering an area of 60 hectares on the outskirts of the city of Lhokseumawe, Aceh province, Indonesia has become a family tourist attraction. The construction of this artificial reservoir was initially intended as a flood control facility and water storage facility when the rainy season arrived, but the existence of this small reservoir was actually welcomed enthusiastically by the residents of the city of Lhokseumawe and its surroundings as a suitable place to relax and spend the evening.
Apart from its function as flood control, the existence of this reservoir since 2010 has actually provided many opportunities for local residents to earn a living by selling various types of food and drinks for a number of residents and immigrants from various other areas to have a holiday or just enjoy the beautiful atmosphere of the sunset.
Yes! The location of the Pusong reservoir really supports nature lovers and photographers to fill their activities on social media pages or for news content with the natural beauty around the reservoir. The reason is, the reservoir is part of the Cunda River estuary and directly faces the Ujong Blang sea coast.
At around 17.20 WIB I had the opportunity to visit Pusong Reservoir because the sun looked a little bright! and I hope to take some beautiful sunset photos there. But my arrival was too fast and the position of the sun was still a little higher than the line dividing heaven and earth.
But I arrived early and was forced to take some photos there even though the sun had not yet touched the western horizon. Maybe this condition is not yet categorized as sunset photography.
The Oppo A18 smartphone camera is a simple device, so it made it difficult for me to get good and interesting pictures. The bad conditions are also complemented by the large number of fishing community cages that fill the face of the small reservoir that is the pride of the residents of Lhokseumawe city. Not only that, the pungent smell also started to mix with the sea breeze because a lot of household rubbish filled the edge of the reservoir. This is a heartbreaking condition that I have to write about in my writing. If left unchecked, it is not impossible that regional original income from the tourism sector for economic growth will continue to decline.
I returned home via the Rawa Sakti stadium ring road, after taking photos on one side of the stadium, I returned and continued my journey to the Islamic Center mosque, I also relied on my smartphone to take photos there before continuing my journey until I arrived home.
