For my #wednesdaywalk post this week, this morning I went to a fishing village to the west of Banda Aceh. From there, I walked down a path that was actually a sea wall structure.
The structure was built to prevent the expansion of the estuary by sea tides. So, the structure of the wall looks like limiting the canal on both sides to the place where the river water and sea tide meet and the boats are anchored near the fishing village.
Up to the edge of the sea, the structure on both sides still extends into the sea. Now to my left is the canal or estuary and to my right is the sea. In the distance, the edge of the wall structure I was on seemed to point towards the tip of the land on the other side. A very small island is to the right.
A kind of houseboat used by fishermen to catch fish was parked for some time at the mouth of the estuary. It's actually a kind of caravan which, when going to sea, is towed by another boat to the position where the fishermen will catch the fish. The difference with a caravan, this is at sea. Perhaps, it could be called a sea caravan. Here, it's called "Bagan". Catching fish with a houseboat or caravan (bagan) is by using the trick of light to attract schools of fish and catch with nets.
There are various flora that grow on the rocks of this sea wall.
A boat passed near the sea caravan.
As I reached the end of the rock structure I saw that a number of anglers were already there, and some had just come and passed me. And then, all the visible activity there is fishing.
At the very end of the structure, we can see a promontory and a point in the sea, a small island called Pulau Tuan.
Because there were no more rock structures that could be stepped forward,🙂 I turned back.
I saw some kind of water insect in one of the rocks with a hole in it and a little water filling it.
Ipomoea creeping to and fro among the rocks.
Arriving at the beach, I turned to the east side because I saw a herd of cows "relaxing" on the beach sand.
Yes, those are the photos I got on my Wednesday Walk.🙂
