Sunset in Cancun
Sunsets symbolise melancholy, nostalgia and necromancy. It can take you down with its sultry colours and impending nightfall. If a sunset is by the side of a water body it multiplies its ethereal beauty. The rough kisses of saline water against rusty sand and smooth pebbles play a husky tune. The quacking of seagulls, the symphony of nocturnal beach insects and the coconut smell of the palm trees all teleport you to a place so divine and serene. You are left with a desire for sun to go on setting and you to keep sitting there in the sand witnessing its beauty, absorbing its each and every detail so that when you are alone in your room far far away from it you can create it with your mind’s eye so descriptively that even other’s can have a look at your imagination and hail a big whoa. Cancun’s sunsets by the beach are just one of those sites where visitors forget the smell of fat dripping on grills, the burgers tossed and margaritas served. Located in Mexico Cancun‘s Zona Hotelera, which is a strips of hotels, shopping sites, and beaches paints the most beautiful sunsets. These beaches entertain the tourists in the day and by the time sun is about to set, it starts casting another spell of hypnotising the visitors with fire and orange red tainted hues. The colours of the sunset are so heavenly that at times the onlooker is puzzled whether they are painted by some expert painter or its just mother nature spreading its colours. What could be better than having this beauty encapsulated in be available to us in just a few clicks? Not everyone can travel up to Cancun to feed and nourish their senses on these miracles. If only someone could capture them for us all, the far away inhabitants. And there it is a marvel of landscape photography, a scene in all its divinity captured only for us, who yearn for these melancholic, nostalgic sights. A gorgeous boat is travelling serenely on still waters, to a place far away maybe to Timbuktu. The red, yellow and orange feathers of smudged light calm on sky are maybe thinking about disturbing the dark and light patches of clouds. The palm trees are quiet after a long hard day under the scorching sun. Happily seeing sun going down to heat the other side of the earth, they are hushing each other to an impending good night’s sleep too. Some hotel lodger could be standing by his window to quench his thirst of this masterpiece. He may be narrating this beauty to his partner back home. But how painful it would be for the partner to create what he is being told. Could landscape photography be a medium for two physically apart partners to see and feel the same landscape? The long awaited answer is yes. The partner may not be able to hear the quacking of gull, the squeaking of nocturnal insects, the quiet sound of water but he may still be able to devour the same hues, the same sadness.
