One afternoon in the Bangka Sea

This afternoon, I accompanied my wife to deliver goods ordered by people. After the shipment was finished, we decided to enjoy the sea breeze. The sea we chose is still around where we live. Maybe about ten minutes from our house.

When we arrived at the location, we saw so many people there. Usually, this beach is full of people on Sundays. It turned out that after we approached them, they were college kids who did 'Ospek.'

We watched them sing their songs with enthusiasm. To be honest, when they headed to sea water, feelings of anxiety struck me. I know exactly about this sea. This is a dangerous place. Almost every year there are people who drown in this sea. Even a few months ago, there were three schoolchildren who drowned there. Two died and one survived. I saw it with my own eyes when they were swept away. Events that often occur in this place, heavy currents from underwater and sand suddenly landslide so that sucked into it.

But I feel relieved that college kids just stand on the edge of shallow water. It seems that my wife turned her face to the camera watching them at close range if they acted improperly. My wife is very concerned with humanitarian issues.

See the excitement of those who chase and capture their own friends and throw them into the sea water.

In addition, there are some other beautiful moments that are very interesting to be enjoyed about the local children who play soccer on the beach because they do not have a good grass field like the original soccer field.

I really like the view above, the ball looks like the moon or orange sun that wants to sink on the horizon. But unfortunately, I didn't find the sunset there because the weather was rather cloudy and the clouds looked black like this.

When I told my wife to go home because it was almost dusk and the campus kids had started packing their things to go home and local children who were playing soccer wanted to go home, suddenly a small child in tattered clothes appeared using an old bicycle and carrying merchandise behind his bicycle.

This boy really caught my attention even though I had put the camera in my bag but this moment should not be missed, I thought.

After taking a picture of the boy, we left the place. On my way home, I thought that if I didn't go home, what more beautiful moments would I get there.
