This image of crowded seashore captures the unadulterated beauty of nature, with people all over, everywhere, gathering, to enjoy the music of waves. The murmur of the waves over the water and the lovely mingling of human spirits with nature are captured in this click.
Even though the photograph’s rawness makes it so different from a typical photographer’s picture, I still think it is one of my greatest shots since it captures the ideal blend of nature and humanity. A peaceful seaside that was transformed into a crowded seashore.
Mumbai and its crowd
Mumbai, yes ‘Aamchi Mumbai’, often said ‘the city of dreams’ where people from all over the nation come to try their luck in various fields of work in an effort to make money or become well-known. Mumbai is one of the most heavily populated metropolises in India, and the city is so flooded by people that you may find people everywhere you look. Mumbai is a city where people work day and night but also, they enjoy and have fun too. This is evident in the picture, a crowded seashore, as not a single stone is untouched by people. People are seen occupying the entire frame and dispersed along the far seashore.
Decoding the snapshot
People start to assemble as the sun sets. The crowded seashore looks like a rainbow as so many people are enjoying themselves while dressed in various colours. Some people are unwinding after a busy day, others are sitting with their families and enjoying in the lovely surrounding along seaside. Families are sitting down to chatting about many things, enjoying eating snacks, tourists are taking pictures and selfies to save the memories, posing with rocks and some with sea water on their backs.
Those who are new to the city are occupied with photographing waves and savoring the brisk sea breeze. Lot of kids are captured hoping on seaside rocks, playing, and enjoying to the fullest. The breeze and waves sound hitting the rocks by the seaside add to the beauty of vibrant atmosphere. Couples are enjoying their time spent together. Also, few people have ventured into the sea and relishing the cool sensation of the water on their feet’s.
While some are content, sitting by themselves and relishing their loneliness. Spending time with oneself and discovering one’s inner self; it is crucial now-a-days and age when loneliness affects everyone, even in crowded spaces.
If we dig deeper into this crowded seashore, this one image can hold a hundred tales to tell, each with its own journey and challenges.
Some serious things to worry about
Aside from this, the fact that people littered was something I was feeling very sad about. People are leaving food scraps, plastic, bottles, and other items lying around, and some are even spitting, which makes this lovely location unclean and unhealthy for everyone who visits. Additionally, this is contaminating the sea and upsetting the marine life. It is important for everyone to learn how to maintain a clean environment.
People continue to act in these absurd and inappropriate ways that should not be done, despite their increased awareness and education. It is important for everyone to take the preservation of nature seriously. Because the lovely nature provides us with so much, thus, it is our responsibility to take care of it.
