Last week I went to a harbor construction site near my home.
The beach near the harbor is really beautiful but to reach there we have to cross the dusty construction site with all these heavy trucks and all moving continuously.
I hesitated for a few moments, but saw this family even carrying an infant braving their way through the dust and going to the beach to enjoy a beautiful sunset.
You can find a great variety of posts on this challenge here.
Thanks for sharing your images. One point, in the first shot, I would have have made sure to have included the whole truck on the right side.

Hello Rick, Thanks a lot for your comments 🙂
I wanted to crop out the sea/beach part from the first image, but as you said it did effect the image.
I have re-cropped the image as per your suggestions and modified the post…
Thanks again Rick.

That is an interesting photo. The women really stand out on the bottom photo and the contrast between the ugly and beautiful is interesting.

The perspective in the photos is intriguing. The first photo looks to me as if the women are falling over.

Thank you so much for your comments.
Yea, as you said, they were almost falling over.
There was hardly any space for people to stand when these big trucks passes by.

I am really glad that you added the second photo in – the one with the beach – because the first shot looked like war! Or it looked like they were not heir way to shelter…. and well, the photos are perfect for the perspective challenge = 😉

A great picture telling a poignant story. I think I like the wider version better, but they are both good in their different ways.

The first one is so intense I almost started choking on the dust.

That’s true, but what lies a head of this dust bowl was really worth venturing…. 🙂

This crop really changes things :D. The first one is definitely more dramatic, and the second well a whole lot more optimistic. Thank you 🙂

Great to hear that, Paula 🙂
Cropping an image in two different ways could give it an entirely different perspective.
Themes like these really challenges us, and prompts us to really take shots seriously, right?

I just wanted to give a feel like it’s some kind of desert or a dry place. So I cropped out the sea/beach part 🙂

I feel like I just hit “like” on nearly everything on your blog I hadn’t seen before, but they were all worth it. 🙂
This is my favourite, though – especially the second, where the family is standing out against the dust.
