DIGHA
West Bengal, India, 2013
The neverending sand beach of Digha, a small village in the south of West Bengal, is not only a place where the fishermen, nowadays as hundred years ago, sail every night into the waters of the Bay of Bengal to bring home fish and seafood. Not only a place, where in the last years always more tourists are coming to enjoy a weekend at the seaside. It is an open-air gallery where the sea and its inhabitants, small crabs, are painting every day new artworks.
The high tide, which is covering the whole beach in the morning, will start to recede after midday. The level of the water decreases of several meters in a short time. The remaining water, which is slowly flowing down to the sea, will create millions of incredible paintings, all different and every day new, day after day.
Thousends of small crabs are also contributing to give the beach something particular. Next to their "homes", wholes in the wet sand, they are building different shapes with small sand balls.
