This photo was taken on December 31, 2013 by my husband using a smartphone samsung galaxy note 8.0. The location of this photograph is in the region of the island of Madura, lying right there in Bangkalan, East Java, Indonesia.
Just riding a motorcycle kawasakhi elderly output in 1998. But still good in the engine and driving comfort. As usual I was only armed with the food I prepared since morning, in the form of rice, side dishes and mats for sunbathing on the beach.
I started out of the house at about 7:30 am, stopping only briefly to a small supermarket to buy snacks, drugs, cigarettes, white chocolate and bread.
Time passes so that I had to continue the journey that is targeted to the beach Maneron. Located in the village Maneron Sepulu districts, about 30 kilometers from the city and at the island of Madura.
I could feel the little drizzle but my husband and I go on. We cross the Suramadu bridge its the called brigde, there are actually two lines are crossing besides Suramadu bridge of the ferry port to the port of Kamal Perak. But my husband prefers to use the longest bridge with only 3000 tickets Dollar (0.246000 U.S. Dollars) per motorcycle.
When entering the region in the island of Madura precisely Bangkalan is one of the districts across the western tip of Salt Island. Atmosphere began to feel different from the city of Surabaya. Aroma and characteristic of the Madura is very thick and is identical to the striking colors of various souvenirs they sell.
The entrance of the island of Madura was greeted with a right-left street vendors are not many significant changes in the island. The journey with the intention that I was racing up the beach soon Maneron. When entering the beach area Maneron lot of vacant land and houses are still rare that only a few houses standing.
I was confused to find where the husband and the entrance gate Maneron coast to find a small board signpost to the beach. Only a path that can be entered only by motorbike or on foot. If the walking distance traveled is approximately 1 kilometer. This beach does not many know of its existence so that less popular in the eyes of the public, especially local tourists.
My husband and I know this beach because my husband who told after he found and read a newspaper article about East Java. My husband was thrilled to read about the places he has not visited and add a collection of photos of us.
Arriving at our shoreline is presented with beautiful white sand that is still fairly natural, because it is rare visitors from out of town who know only the local villagers as fishing activity. I whip out the camera gear and gadgets husband photographed with a smartphone.
I walked combing the shoreline by taking some pictures, from the distance I saw a man squatting. He sees the arrival of me, he immediately stood up and closed his pants back arranging. I do not have a dirty mind at all just the beauty of the beaches and lonely feels comfortable atmosphere make for a photo shoot. Until I smelled the odor began to be felt.
Turns on the shoreline a lot of human waste scattered everywhere with no sand in the grave, including men who had been squatting. Dogs defecate always looking for sand to cover it.
"Could scenes like this to continue?" Hopefully there is awareness and improvement of local residents and local government related. I do not have time to roll out a mat to eat or rest for a moment, because it is no longer comfortable with the atmosphere and the air smells bad. I immediately went home because of the drizzle started coming again.
On the way home I stopped for a moment as finding small huts belonging to farmers in the rice field. That's where I started to break and eat the food I brought from home.
Back on the way home I use a ferry boat crossing lanes because it is more relaxed and able to enjoy the sea view.
Very loved if beautiful beaches to be contaminated by the hands of irresponsible.
"HAPPY NEW YEAR 2014'' Hope is always in peace.
