Black Pearl ******************************** Please leave a comment / feel free to share Not many people know that the Hindu Temple/Shrine in Bet Dwarka (Gujarat, India) is the actual, years old shrine of Lord Krishna. It is managed by government and most of the things inside the temple come at a very low cost compared to the other temple at the entrance of the city. You gotta take a 15 minutes boat ride to get to the island where 75% of the population is muslim and survives by operating these ferry services and sea food and items crafted from shells and other stuff found from sea. Both communities have been living mutually and peacefully without a single reported incident of riot since long time. When you get to the jetty to board the boat, you would see people selling feeds for the bird. At first you may think what is this all about and is it even worth it, but you do want to grab a couple of packets of bird feeds because as soon as the boat leaves the port, anywhere between 25-50 sea gulls flock the boat anticipating you to offer them the feed. Its an incredible experience as you see the gulls flying extremely low at a close range to you and some even grabbing off the feed from your hands. There are two other shots of sea gulls that i took from the boat. The boats are as expected over crowded because ferries want to make as much money as possible on their each trip. So amongst the flood of people without any other equipment to stabilize the shot, i had to adjust my camera settings to get this silhouette shot. I wanted the sun to go down a little further, but i worked with whatever i had to manage this shot.
