Travel-Beautiful In What Meaning? By@asshar

in #travel7 years ago

If you say the coast of Indonesia is beautiful, surely all agree, but must be followed the first question, how beautiful? This paper actually departs from my long-standing pent-up taste, but seems to be "reminded" again when I visit tourist spots that many people claim or claim from travel brochures selling the most beautiful places.

Imagine that the blue sea (sometimes has a fantastic color gradation) almost united with the color of the sky divorced by the clouds, added a little wave of coconut trees, from which we can guess any object offered in the middle of the scene will look very beautiful, and I agree it. Images like this will adorn the social media pages of travelers, including me, at least many people will try to get similar photos. Sometimes free promotions like this lead many people to think that the place pictured in the box frame is very beautiful, and I again agree about that, initially.

I have to tell an experience that I think is enough to make my concerns show up. Last year when I had the opportunity to visit the island of Lombok, after landing we had to travel by land with a chartered car that took almost an hour, reconnected by boat to a place called Pink Beach. Before I had known such a great story about this beach by looking at the evidence in social media. Pink Beach will look pink when we come just in time, that is some time after sunrise. Since our visit time was not for a vacation, we did not take the time to see the beauty of this pink beach.

The beautiful cliffs combined with the green kotrasnya of grasses typical of eastern Indonesia is tempting tourists like me to stop the ship at that moment and then to shoot the camera. From a distance our guides have pointed to a specific point, a beach lined with dense trees with a pink color of sand. The alloy of Indonesia's natural form is very beautiful and the colors that come out of the formation.

Landed us with enthusiasm, shooting in a style more or less the same as what we saw from previous social media. Yep, we get the same photo, in a more or less the same frame. But I just realized that direction is so important, because direction is everything about image. Dozens of photos on the social media facing towards the beach because there is quite a heartbreaking cause.

After a satisfactory shot toward the beach, I turned around. A very contrasting scene. Warung-warung stands with potluck, not even make this scene become more beautiful with a man-made touch, but it makes dirty. The sound of a high-pitched motor roar erases all the beautiful silence of this place. Sad😢

I understood why all the photographs were facing the same direction, I came to understand why nothing else could be photographed here, because man without guidance destroys it all, takes the essence of this tourism, but does not understand the meaning behind it tours and beauty.

Rickety huts made of wood and bamboo, but dirty and dirty. Trash scattered without containers. Throw away a beautiful impression, and just a photo to the beach that can erase the bad memories.

It feels very appropriate if we all realize that we have to clean up, especially the tourism business 'potluck' into the original 'beautiful' tourism, not because of nature (nature is not homemade, if he is beautiful, we should not be too proud) all manmade it actually supports the beauty of nature, providing a viewpoint for the beauty of nature, providing facilities for others to see and enjoy the beauty of nature.
