A Story From Kelan

The sun is still shy to say hello but activity in Kelan village already looks crowded and very busy  by fishermen who had just arrived after going to sail at night while accompanied by the sound waves are calm with views of vast white sand and beautiful.
Kelan is a fishing village in Bali is located right flanked by Ngurah Rai airport and next door to Kedonganan fishing village, this is very simple fishing village there are also friendly residents, most of the fishermen here come from lombok, Banyuwangi, East Java and Central Java.
In the morning seen the fishermen in this village are busy bringing their catch last night to fish traders in traditional markets this village,not infrequently also seen mothers of fishermen who are preparing to sell some fish that are not sold on the market because of problems poor quality fish but the freshness of the fish is still guaranteed.
In the daytime, fishermen were cleaning their boats and nets for their preparation will go to sea at night, and many children of fishermen in Kelan village was playing in the surrounding beaches, many of them are delighted when  I photographed that children playfully together with their friends who are also children of fishermen in this village.
In the afternoon the fisherman's wife is still selling fish on the beach,they are really working hard from morning to evening, the fisherman wife peddling the fish that catches by their husbands who do not care about the heat of the day it was just for one goal, to provide  their family needed.The fishermen also work together began lowering their boats into the sea and prepare go to sea, before sailing the fishermen here are also taking the time with their children see the beautiful sunset at the Kelan beach first before going to sea, and back again in the next morning.
Most of the fishermen here have great hopes to schooling their children to the highest level because the fishermen don't want their children be like them, for them being a fisherman is very high risk, sometimes they are too scared  go to sea when the storm came but there was no other choice, they must had to go for their needs.
