A fishing boat stranded on clayey bed at the mouth of the river, Talshiri, during low tide.At high tide when the sea encroaches, these boats auomatically float up and the fishermen takes them to sea for the day's catch....a whole community thriving, living, laughing and procreating with so much faith on simple lawas of nature- which in this case is all about the gravitational pull of our very known cellestial bodies (the Sun and the Moon and their alighnment with the Earth) :)

(Location: Talshiri, a coastal village along the Bay of Bengal on the southern shores of West Bengal,India)

P.S: Special thanks to Mitra for useful suggestions :)
