We all love the beach, right? I sure do. Where the sea meets the land is a magical place. It is the overlap of two very different worlds; our sunny, sandy, beautiful home and the alien waves that beckon you into the inhospitable wilderness of the ocean. When crossing that foam-fringed boundary, one must remember that you are no longer in your world. You are entering the sea, and the sea is vast and dark and dangerous. It is more untamed than the wildest jungle and full of creatures that can kill you in a hundred different gruesome ways. Every wave whispers to you that you do not belong here, you may only visit for a brief time if you want to leave with your life. Hold tight to the warm sunlit sand that fringes the barrier of this place, or you may never see it again. Welcome to the beach. Enter at your own risk.

1. Tamarama beach, Australia

This is know as both the smallest and the most dangerous beach in NSW. There is a permanent rip current that runs along the rocky northern shore, but at any given time there could be more hidden in the surf. Large waves break just a little ways offshore, posing a hazard to swimmers but an attraction for surfers. Although there are rarely deaths here, lifeguards have to rescue multiple people a day. Interestingly, this beach is only around sometimes! Occasionally all the sand will wash away and all that’s left is a rocky outcrop. There’s no way to be certain when the beach will come back or how big it will be or what it might look like. I guess it never gets boring to visit.

2. Isle of Ré, France

This island is not the only place you can go to see square waves, but it is one of the places most famous for this strange phenomenon. This is called a cross sea, and occurs when two opposing wave patterns intersect. Although this is certainly a tourist attraction, it is best to observe from a distance, as cross seas can be very dangerous to both ships and swimmers. Cross seas can cause powerful rip currents and walls of water up to 10 feet high, rolling ships and dragging people underwater. (As a side note, my mother thought I had made up cross seas as a freaky supernatural event in my book. Unfortunately, I did not.)

3. Dumas Beach, India

This is supposedly one of the most haunted places in India. Although this beach is full of tourists during the daytime, no one remains after dark, for fear that they will become the next ghost to wander the sand. Apparently, this beach was once used as a burial ground, and said to be black due to the human ashes mixed in. At night, people report hearing voices and seeing apparitions, and even dogs behave strangely once the sun goes down. There have also been multiple unexplained disappearances and at least one recorded death. Whether you believe in ghosts or not, there definitely seems to be something eerie happening on this beach.

4. Morecambe Bay, UK

This is an interesting one, as it’s not technically the water that’s dangerous. The ground is. This estuary features extreme tides, with the water level dropping and rising up to 32 feet twice a day. This exposes an expanse of mud flats and channels which are composed of loose, wet material that can absolutely suck you in and trap you. If this happens when the tide is coming in, it can quickly turn deadly. This has happened many times going back through history, including one incident in 2004 where 23 people died. Yes, all at the same time. No, I don’t want to delve into that incident too deeply in this list as it’s extremely horrifying and tragic. Feel free to research it yourself.

5. Monastery Beach, Oregon

This has earned its nickname “mortuary beach” by being extremely dangerous. Over 30 people have died here, including people who weren’t even in the water. In 2015, a woman walking along the beach was dragged in by a wave and drowned. The beach has multiple factors that make it so deadly, including a steep drop off, unpredictable waves, and strong undertows. This beach isn’t even safe to walk on. I um. Don’t like that.

6. Hanakapiai Beach, Hawaii

Despite its beauty, this Hawaiian beach is not recommended for swimming except for expert surfers. During the summer, this beach is a popular place for hiking, sunbathing and sightseeing, but during the winter the sand is washed away and the waves crash against the cliffs directly. Even in the relatively safe summer months, this beach has no barrier reef to break up the strong waves and powerful currents, which leads to a dangerous situation where swimmers can quickly be swept out into the open ocean and drown. At least 30 people have died here, and 15 of the bodies have never been recovered.

7. Lake Michigan. Just, all of it.

Despite all the Great Lakes being somewhat terrifying, Michigan takes the title of the most dangerous lake in the country. Yearly, Lake Michigan has more drownings than all four other Great Lakes combined. The reason that Michigan is especially hazardous is that, well, it’s kind of weirdly shaped. Thanks to its 300+ miles of uninterrupted parallel shorelines running north-south, it forms huge waves and strong riptides and long shore currents. It is also a question of numbers; Lake Michigan has more public beaches and large population centers than the other Great Lakes. All in all, a recipe for disaster.

8. Playa Zipolite, Mexico

This is also called the “beach of the dead”, so it’s inclusion on this list seems pretty self-explanatory. These waters have strong undercurrents that rotate in a circular pattern, either pushing you into shore or pulling you out to sea. There is a pervasive rumor that 50 people drown at this beach a year, although this is… somewhat exaggerated. In fact, very few people drown at this beach these days, as it has actually gotten less dangerous over the years. There used to be a steep drop-off that would catch people by surprise, but due to several severe storms in the early 2000s, the beach has eroded back and now gently slopes down instead. Although very few people die at this beach nowadays, multiple rescues are performed every day due to the dangerous currents.

9. Cyclops, Australia

This is a particular type of wave that forms off the coast of Esperance, Australia, as the sea floor rapidly goes from deep, open water to a very very shallow reef. It is… unsettling. The longer I look at it, the weirder it gets. It’s like an ai generated image. I couldn’t even pick one picture of it so I made you a collage.

It is considered one of the most dangerous surf spots in the world, and can only be accessed by boat. To quote pacific surf dot com, “the reason the wave is dangerous is because it does not act like any other wave in the world. It engulfs itself due to the massive change in the ocean floor when the wave rolls up.”

10. Nazare, Portugal

This area of Portugal is home to some of the biggest waves in the world. Just offshore is an underwater canyon, plunging down to 16,000 ft deep. This allows large, fast deep-water waves to move into shore unimpeded, and when they hit the shallows close to shore all the water gets suddenly pushed up, resulting in waves up to 80 ft tall. I think the picture speaks for itself in this case. Probably best to not get in the water if you see that shit.

That was fun, wasn’t it? Before I go, let me end this on a different note than the rest of my lists; some actual advice for if you should you ever decide to visit these beaches (or any beach, really). Rip currents are incredibly strong (believe me, I know) but very narrow currents that run perpendicular to shore. To get out of a rip current, swim parallel to shore. Trying to fight the current will just tire you out and eventually leave you exhausted and way the fuck out in the ocean, which is typically when you die. Swimming parallel to shore will get you out of the current, and once you’re free you can swim back in at your leisure. And, just in general, never fight the sea. The sea will win.

Wednesday 1st January 2025

NYD

It's odd making reference to 2025, and yet it seems to have been with us a while now because it has featured so much in our future planning.

We are still reeling from the events of our return journey after the fantastic, exciting, exhilarating celebrations of yesterday evening and just how quickly the transition was made to a potentially threatening environment. Reports are that we shared it with more than a million people. Crowd control must have been ultimately impossible. Lessons will have been learned, but it was a gruelling experience that you endure, not enjoy, but get to do it for as many times that you feel you still can, because for a time, the ends justify the difficulties experienced. The main problem we experienced was from the cordoned off areas surrounding the Circular Quays vicinity, with access along the vertical roadways towards all rail stations, and blocked horizontal roads towards main bus routes located in Wynyard. Manly is not served by any rail network, so we were dependent upon getting to a bus. The road blocks were guarded by security and police, but personnel stationed at each block did not necessarily know what was happening at the other blocks or where the alternative routes were. At one unfortunate and scary point, we reluctantly found ourselves in the forecourt to Wynyard metro station, and because police then shut off our route behind us leading back into George Street, our only possible option was forward in a direction we didn't want to go in. We then found ourselves below street level, deep within the bowels of the station itself, with no available route out and back to above ground. So, our only possibility was to retrace our steps and wait for the police to reopen the entrance to the station again. Therefore we had to work it out for ourselves, and along with thousands of others, milled, pushed, shoved, josseled, shuffled up George Street, desperately trying to work horizontally to York Street, and a possible bus in a homeward direction, amidst blaring music from party revelling. It was chaotic and really quite frightening, not knowing for sure that we could get to our destination, with absolutely no accurate direction and police extremely harassed trying to perform an impossible task in a vacuum that they themselves were ill-informed about, and not appearing to be able to give advice on. Once eventually achieving access to York Street, things clicked into place, and we made it to Wynyard and an awaiting 173x bus to take us home (not free).

As the moments ticked away, sitting by our pool several hours later and enjoying a quiet breakfast, grateful we were home safely, we made plans for Friday's excitement; the first opening day of the final cricket test match between Australia and India. Also, to plan is tomorrow's visit to the Rocks to see Susanah Place.

Danger is ever present in these shores. Things that crawl on the surface of the earth and things that swim in the sea. We went down to the beach to relax a bit, and as observers of human behaviour we can't help perhaps being a little cynical, but it does appear that the life guards have a tendency at around 3 pm to make an announcement that blue bottles have been sighted. This means a lot of people get out of the water, and anxiety levels drop. Now, the real trump card, if this tactic fails, is shark sighted! That one works pretty well. The main shoreline loudspeaker system squawked into action, with shark siron, and yellow shark signs appeared. And so it all worked very well this afternoon, and very fast too it was. Except for one foolish, amateur surfer. There he was, swimming away, on his board, falling off his board, and then pushing his board further out to sea to repeat the whole performance. This attracted the attention of orange and yellow clad life guards who stood and shrieked their whistles at him at a pitch that would dislodge teeth and send small dogs to look for cover. Still, he took no notice, so they brought in the man with the tannoy, and he shouted incoherent commands at him, and still he took no notice. So then they brought backup in the form of two yellow and orange personnel in a yellow and orange small boat, who also yelled at him. The lone swimmer perhaps did notice now the small crowd watching from the promenade. Maybe he saw he was alone out there and assumed he was attracting quite an audience, and clearly, what was pleasing the crowd most must be his prowess as a surfer. What else would explain the appreciation his efforts were giving. So, of course, he couldn't disappoint his public; the show must go on. More whistles, more shouting, but as we turned to go, more surfing and falling off.... We just hope he did not become another statistic.

Our entertainment over, we pursued a course for Coles and the procurement of yet another rubbery chicken.

Perhaps a tiring day, but a good start to a New Year.

ps. We were treated to a fine lone airshow display of loop the loops and general antics. All ended safely.

Product Photography: The Key to Converting Visitors into Customers

In the world of e-commerce, where the majority of shopping happens online, how products are presented visually can make or break a business. Product photography is more than just taking pretty pictures; it's a strategic tool that helps businesses attract, engage, and ultimately convert website visitors into customers. This article explores the importance of high-quality product photography and how it plays a crucial role in enhancing conversions, particularly for businesses in Ahmedabad, India.

Why Product Photography Matters

The first impression of a product is often the last one, especially when shopping online. When potential customers visit an e-commerce website, the first thing they interact with are the images of the products. These images must capture the essence of the product in a way that is clear, appealing, and informative.

Effective product photography can convey the quality, features, and functionality of a product. It reassures the buyer that they are getting exactly what they see. On the other hand, poor-quality images can lead to skepticism, confusion, or frustration, pushing potential buyers to look elsewhere. The visual appeal of a product is directly tied to the likelihood of purchase, making it a key element in the customer journey.

The Role of Product Photography in E-Commerce

1. Building Trust and Credibility

In the absence of physical touch, customers rely heavily on images to understand the product. Professional, high-quality product photography in Ahmedabad or any other location builds trust with the consumer. Customers are more likely to purchase from businesses that display clear, detailed photos of the items. When the photos are well-lit, high-resolution, and show the product from multiple angles, it assures the buyer that the business is credible and professional.

2. Showcasing Product Features

Product photography allows businesses to highlight unique features and details that text alone cannot convey. For example, close-up shots of texture, material, or intricate design can make a huge difference. It is these small details that can convince a customer that your product is worth the investment. For businesses offering products in competitive markets, like food products or fashion, showcasing these features through stunning product photography in Ahmedabad is a game-changer.

3. Boosting Sales Conversions

According to studies, 93% of consumers consider visual appearance to be the key deciding factor in their purchasing decisions. High-quality images that effectively showcase the product can increase conversion rates by making the decision-making process easier for customers. When buyers feel confident about the product based on what they see, they are more likely to follow through with their purchase.

4. Enhancing the Customer Experience

Good product photography enhances the overall customer experience. When customers can view products in great detail - whether through a 360-degree view, multiple angles, or close-ups - they feel more confident in their purchase. This reduces uncertainty and increases satisfaction. A great product photo is essentially a virtual salesperson, guiding customers through their buying journey.

Different Types of Product Photography

The needs for product photography vary across industries. Here are some types of product photography that can be highly beneficial for your business:

1. Studio Photography

Studio product photography is ideal for products that require controlled lighting and a neutral background. Whether it's fashion, accessories, or home goods, studio photography ensures that the product is the star of the show, free from distractions.

2. Lifestyle Photography

Lifestyle product photography showcases the product in use. For instance, a pair of shoes can be photographed on a person walking in a park, or a piece of furniture can be displayed in a home setting. This type of photography allows customers to envision how the product will fit into their lives.

3. Food Photography

Food photography is particularly crucial for businesses in the food and beverage industry. High-quality images of food items are essential in showcasing freshness, texture, and presentation. A food photographer in Ahmedabad can capture vibrant and appealing images of dishes, ingredients, or prepared meals, making them irresistible to potential customers.

Food photography goes beyond simply capturing an image; it involves styling and lighting to make the food look as appetizing as possible. When done right, it can increase engagement and conversions for restaurants, caterers, food delivery services, and e-commerce businesses selling packaged food products.

How to Choose the Right Product Photographer

Choosing the right photographer is essential for getting the best results. A professional photographer specializing in product photography in Ahmedabad understands the local market and the nuances of capturing product images that resonate with consumers. Here are some factors to consider when choosing a photographer:

1. Portfolio and Style

Review the photographer's portfolio to get an idea of their style and expertise. A portfolio filled with diverse products and high-quality images is a good indicator of their capabilities. Whether you need lifestyle or studio shots, a versatile photographer can cater to different needs.

2. Experience with Your Industry

Look for a photographer with experience in your industry. If you're in the food business, hiring a food photographer in Ahmedabad with expertise in food styling and photography is crucial. They will know how to highlight the textures, colors, and presentation of food to make it look as appealing as possible.

3. Editing and Post-Production Skills

Photography is only part of the process. Editing and post-production are key to creating flawless images. Make sure the photographer has a strong understanding of photo editing software to enhance the final product.

The Impact of Product Photography on SEO

High-quality product images not only help convert visitors into customers but also play a significant role in SEO (Search Engine Optimization). Properly optimized product images can improve your website's visibility on search engines, driving more traffic to your site.

1. Image SEO

Ensure that all product images are optimized with proper alt tags, titles, and descriptions. This helps search engines understand what the image is about, improving its chances of appearing in image searches and driving organic traffic.

2. Page Load Speed

Optimized images also improve website performance. Large, unoptimized images can slow down your page load speed, which negatively impacts SEO. Make sure the images are compressed without sacrificing quality, ensuring fast loading times and better user experience.

3. Rich Snippets and Product Listings

High-quality product images also enhance your chances of appearing in rich snippets and product listings on Google, which increases visibility and clicks.

Conclusion

Product photography is far more than just a marketing tool. It is essential in today's digital age for converting website visitors into loyal customers. Whether you're selling clothing, accessories, food, or electronics, high-quality, engaging product photography plays a pivotal role in boosting conversion rates, building trust, and improving the overall customer experience.

For businesses looking to make an impact in competitive markets like Ahmedabad, investing in professional product photography in Ahmedabad or hiring a skilled photographer in Ahmedabad can be the key to setting your brand apart from the competition. When your products are showcased in the best possible light, customers are more likely to make that crucial purchasing decision, transforming visitors into long-term customers.

Karni Mata Temple In Bikaner, (Rajasthan Devdarshan)

The Karni Mata Temple, located in Deshnok, 30 kilometers from Bikaner, Rajasthan, is one of the most fascinating temples in India. Known as the "Rat Temple," it stands out for its unique tradition of revering rats, which are considered sacred and auspicious. Dedicated to Karni Mata, an incarnation of Goddess Durga, the temple attracts thousands of devotees and curious visitors every year.

The Legend of Karni Mata

Karni Mata, a revered 14th-century mystic and spiritual guide, is believed to have divine powers. According to legend, when one of her devotees’ sons died, she tried to bring him back to life. However, Lord Yama, the god of death, refused. Karni Mata then granted a boon that her clan members would be reincarnated as rats and would eventually be reborn as humans. This belief is the foundation of the temple’s unique practice.

The Sacred Rats

The temple is home to over 25,000 black rats, referred to as kabas. These rats are believed to be the reincarnations of Karni Mata’s devotees. They roam freely within the temple premises and are fed milk, grains, and sweets by the priests and visitors. Devotees consider it a blessing to spot a rare white rat among them, which is believed to be an incarnation of Karni Mata herself or her sons.

Architectural Marvel

Constructed in the Mughal style, the temple features intricate marble carvings, silver doors, and a grand entrance gate. The inner sanctum houses an idol of Karni Mata adorned with a crown and garlands. The temple’s architecture beautifully complements its spiritual significance.

Festivals and Celebrations

The temple comes alive during the annual Karni Mata Fair, held twice a year in March-April and September-October, coinciding with the Navratri festival. Devotees gather in large numbers to seek blessings and participate in rituals.

A Unique Experience

Visiting the Karni Mata Temple is an unparalleled experience, offering a glimpse into Rajasthan's spiritual and cultural diversity. While the idea of coexisting with thousands of rats may seem daunting, the temple’s serene and sacred atmosphere leaves visitors in awe of its devotion and unique traditions.

The Karni Mata Temple is a testament to the profound faith and rich folklore that define Rajasthan, making it a must-visit destination for pilgrims and travelers alike.
