I was there mostly to photograph bull and tiger sharks in Beqa Lagoon but the sheer beauty of the area was a real bonus.  These shots were taken around 5am, just as the horizon began to lighten.  It&#8217;s an incredibly tranquil place; the only sounds were the waking calls of a few parakeets and birds I did not recognise, plus the occasional &#8216;plop&#8217; as a startled mudskipper dropped off a low hanging branch.  I&#8217;ll be adding some of the Fiji landscapes to the prints for sale section of my website soon.  if interested just <a href=\"mailto:colin@colinmunrophotography.com\">email me<\/a>.<br \/>\nAs always my images are available to license.
