Afternoon on the shores of Lhokseumawe

^{Hello Hiveans... If it is calculated, it turns out that almost 60% of the world's population likes the beach, especially in every location there are various activities that are often carried out by fishermen, especially in our area, especially coastal cities whose residents have professions as fishermen, especially not too far from the city center. So to reach the location is very easy and does not take hours to be here.}

The beach you see in this post is an area to the northeast of the city center of Lhokseumawe, Aceh, Indonesia. People here know this location as a local tourist destination, namely Ujoeng Blang Lhokseumawe beach, this location, when entering the holy month of Ramadan often looks deserted from visitors, this is due to the influence of the worship of Muslims who fast for a full month every year.

Even though it is quiet from visitors, there are still residents whose houses are not far from this village, they use their free time to play on each side of the beach, this is done to fill their spare time in the afternoon while waiting to break their fast. They refrain from eating and drinking from sunrise (dawn time) to sunset (maghrib time).

I myself have been fasting since Sunday and until this afternoon, also doing the same thing, as people in my area when entering the afternoon. This is also done by other residents, one of which is as shown in the picture, one of the boys is fasting, he has not eaten or drank since the sun rose (at dawn) until now. This boy, looks like he really enjoys a natural state of the coast whose house is also not too far from this beach.

Seeing him do the same thing as me, namely fasting during the day, of course I really understand his situation, he looks really enjoying every roar of the waves and the wind that goes, his gaze is straight ahead as if he is thinking something, but I don't know what is going on. Octually he thought, but what I see he is very happy to be in that area.

When I see his behavior here it's as if I know what he wants, certainly a comfortable and peaceful situation. This little boy, who is constantly observing and breathing the fresh air around the natural beach, is certainly very comfortable. Watching his very happy behavior, then grabbing a personal smartphone to show his behavior in a picture, and here you can see every activity in a short time.

When this little boy, bored with a situation, then moved to another location, but still at the same point, he moved to a place that had several people doing the same thing as him.

It turned out that the comfortable atmosphere this afternoon was also enjoyed by the people who were still residents of this area, they also did the same thing with the boy. The weather is getting brighter, so everyone is lulled by his activities. Everyone always does the same and they seem happy too. Happiness today being in one location on the beach is indeed very delicious and extraordinary, we and they are doing our respective activities.

Being in a location that is far from the hustle and bustle of the crowd turns out to be very beautiful, especially in a clean and healthy location. Surely it will be more interesting and want to linger in it, a very peaceful situation, no hostility, no noise, and no violence is everyone's dream. Maybe you will also think like I said, because a comfortable situation is a wonderful thing.

Look at this boy, and some other people who are enjoying the peaceful atmosphere on each shore, they are very happy and happy. We will also be sad if in a country occupied by our brothers and sisters, experiencing an uncomfortable situation or a war is going on, of course, we are very sad and concerned, especially children, of course, will become victims.

You can also see some of the state of the people in our area, when in the afternoon, as seen below.

B ^{Feeling happy to see traditional fishermen on the move}

I really like the beach. Moreover, on each side there are fishing facilities that are used to carry out their daily activities of catching fish, which are then sold to the market, then the proceeds are sold to families and to people under their responsibility.

There are several things that make me feel happy when I'm in it, namely,

1. the beachfront situation is very comfortable
2. Seeing the activities of every fisherman on the move
3. Seeing some amazing natural activities.

Actually, there are many things that make a person feel comfortable in it, but I only chose three, why? Because these three things are often encountered in every beach.

Moreover, the third is seeing traditional fishermen anchoring fish, if you look at the picture you don't see tools such as trawls being pulled by fishermen, now here lies the beauty when the crew members pull the trawler in the water, it looks like there are some traditional fishing crews pulling the trawler that was placed in the water.

The uniqueness of this traditional hela is that it has a manual operating system, meaning that it does not use many sophisticated tools, only relying on strength and compactness in pulling.

But unfortunately, waiting for the main trawl to reach the mainland takes more than 2 hours or less, it depends on the cohesiveness of the fishing crew in using their calm on a regular basis. When in photos or when I see it is just the beginning of the operation, then to see the finish I have to wait.

On this occasion, I did not wait for the main trawl to land. I had to wait again, while the time for breaking the fast was only 20 minutes away. So I decided to return home, with the intention of preparing a menu for breaking the fast.

What I can present are some of the initial activities of operating traditional fishermen, here are some activities that you can watch below.

^{10 (Not to be missed, every Acehnese traditional fisherman is carrying out daily activities)}

^{11 (Each crew, cooperate when pulling the trawler that is in sea water)}

^{12 (This fishing system is different from freelance fishermen)}

^{16 (It takes approximately 2 hours to pull the main trawl in the water}

^{17 (The atmosphere slowly begins to enter maghrib time, then every activity is stopped)}

That's my activity today, precisely in the afternoon on the 5th day of fasting. Hope you like it as well as telling you, this is how we are here in the afternoon when we enter the holy month of Ramadan. Thank you for reading this post. I hope you are fine.
