Photographer’s Note

05h30 Come up ! ...

The sun rises in fifteen minutes and Tianyar (north-east of Bali) this show is wonderful.
More importantly, there are the fishermen returning with the catch of the night. Small tunas, some Daurades, fish-scaled Multicolr especially mackerel. Do not miss this show, first of all is the great calm, the ocean is a desert, then on the horizon for hundreds of small dots appear, they grow very quickly and we distinguish the sails " Prahu or Jukung "(fishing boats) of all the colors they resemble a flight of dragonflies.
"Here they come, they come, they come ".... they spring right on the coast, shouting their joy and just fail to return their boats on the beach. Then the family ran and helps lift the boat on the sand before working to untangle the nets where the fish shine fresh sins of the night ....

Generally Indonesians are afraid of water (the refuge of evil spirits and demons) and many of them can not swim. Fishermen are people a little apart, heirs of a profession that is perpetuated from father to son.
