Lens-Artists Challenge #364: Quiet Moment

This week it’s Ritva’s turn to host the Challenge, and her theme is ‘Quiet Moment‘. ‘Where is your serene sanctuary?’ Asks, Ritva. ‘This week’s challenge is [a] “story-driven” adventure, encouraging you to explore and connect with your own experiences and emotions – “quiet moment”’.

Our holiday is over now, and we’re back to the ‘hustle and bustle’ of life up north. Of course,  living in the countryside, on the outskirts of a small town, is nothing like living in the city, but compared to our routine for the last five weeks life feels … faster. Down in Meco, apart from perhaps seven days that we lost due to the weather, heavy seas, or a bit of a chill that I picked up from getting wet on a windy day, our routine was to wake up late, have breakfast, prepare food for the day and then take the roughly 1km walk to the beach. After setting up our little ‘compound’ (as we called it), we would spend the next several hours on the beach.

At the end of the day, we would pack everything away, dispose of our rubbish in the bins provided, and make the trek back to our accommodation. It’s important to take all of your rubbish with you. We appreciate that the beach is for everyone and it deserves to be looked after. ‘Leave behind nothing but footprints’ is a good philosophy to follow, and even on the beach footprints are transitory. After a shower (and a beer), at 9pm we would head out for a late dinner, a digestivo in the local bar, and after a short walk to settle our stomachs, head to bed. Then we would wake up the next morning and repeat the experience. 

During our walk through the woods, often all we could hear was the occasional bird, the wind in the trees, and the waves pounding against the shore. On a quiet day, when the sea was still, it was difficult even to hear the waves. On the beach, I spent much of the time in the shade, with the sound of the waves lulling me into a peaceful sleep. At least once, we would stay for the sunset, when the sun dips below the horizon, leaving the sky a beautiful salmon colour before the night sets in. It’s all over now, we’re back up north, but we’re already looking forward to doing it all again next year.

Themes for the Lens-Artists Challenge are posted each Saturday at 12:00 noon EST (which is 4pm, GMT) and anyone who wants to take part can post their images during the week.

Chuva se formando sobre o Rio Tocantins, na altura da cidade de Cametá, no Pará. Mas antes que "arreie um toró" (como dizem os paraenses), três amigos aproveitam a tarde na Praia da Aldeia.
