On Pier

As the sun dipped below the horizon, I raced to a hidden pier with my camera, eager to capture the untold stories pulsing through the air. An elderly fisherman caught my eye, his weathered face alive with adventures from the sea. I snapped his photo before moving on, capturing the joyous energy of kids laughing and playing, each click adding to the vibrant tapestry of life at the pier.

Later, I dove into a local café where the smell of coffee mixed with fascinating legends—tales of shipwrecks and enchanting mermaids brought the pier's magic alive. It hit me: this place connected past and present in exhilarating ways.

The pier echoed with secrets—legends of lost sailors and a wise seagull, “The Fisherman’s Guardian.” The café owner shared a poignant tale of a lighthouse keeper and a mermaid, revealing the depth of the pier’s history.

In search of tranquillity, I set my camera aside, soaking in the rhythm of the gentle waves. The sun warmed my skin as I focused on each breath, feeling the pier embrace me as a sanctuary. In that stillness, I found beauty in every moment and the dock's enduring essence.
