Sun and Jetliner

            Being a
visual media person and a wonderer I got chances to travel at many places in
India as well as abroad. In this way once I was in Digha a very beautiful, calm
and quiet place and most popular sea resort and tourist spot, but not so on
national or international radar, I just heard about Digha sea beach, so once I
made programmed to visit that place. Then after charting out the route one fine
day I reached Digha a small town about 187 Kms south west from Kolkata which is
also called “Brighton of the East” where luckily I got an accommodation near
the beach. The meal which served before me whom I relished most rices with Dal,
fried potatoes, fish curry, and begun bhaja a typical meal of Bengal’s tinge.
As I was on leave so my only job was to grab sumptuous meals, sleep and move
around the beaches.

 

            Beach was
very nice with low gradient, shallow sand beach with gentle waves which was
about 7 Kms in length. It is the best holiday destination for family and
friends. While moving around about 2 Kms on the beach there is a fish market,
where I saw tons of fishes of different verities especially Tiger prawns, Hilsa
arrived by trawlers and off loaded  and from
there the men use to pick them and sell them to retailers as well as to the
whole sellers.

 

            In the
evening the beach turned into festive like scenario lot of preparations of
fishes of different verities were selling with other eatries.The beach turned
into amusements park, people and children enjoying the festive atmosphere. In
this way one fine morning while I was taking morning stroll near the beach then
suddenly my eyes attracted towards a unique combination of the rising sun and
above that a jetliner is flying. So this phenomenal scenario attracted me a lot
as I said earlier to that I always carry my camera and luckily got some unique
natural phenomenal shots, so that time I had my Nikon 100 with short zoom
analogue camera with me. So by that camera which had some limitations for the
frames, I well composed the frame with people paying oblations in the
foreground the sea, sun and the streak of the jetliner for which I waited for
the jetliner to cross over the sun and shot the burning effect of the streak of
the jetliner. That unique combination of nature and my this single shot made my
frame a complete telling frame.

 

            The best
season to visit Digha is October to Februray when the season is dried. Some
people enjoy rainy season for enjoyment.
