The most terrible sight: Colorful Hell of bodies and umbrellas🏖️🌈👙 Bar, Montenegro

(Edited)

As an avid traveler, I have been lucky enough to see some amazing sights around the world. From towering mountains to cascading waterfalls, nature has never failed to fascinate me. But nothing could have prepared me for what I encountered in the charming town of Bar, Montenegro. The sight mesmerized me so much that I gave it the name "Colored Hell".

As I headed for the beach, I was full of foreboding because I heard whispers of something extraordinary. However, the closer I got, the more my excitement faded, clouded by a growing awareness that something was wrong. The town of Bar, known for its natural beauty and coastal appeal, showed a different face that was marred by overcrowding.

The beach, which stretched as far as the eye could see, was completely transformed into a living tapestry of people and colorful umbrellas. In this narrow strip of paradise, a sea of humanity converged. The beach, which was meant to offer solace and peace, turned into a mess of bodies, erasing any semblance of peace.

The once pristine coastline, now blocked by masses of people, left me disappointed. The sight that greeted me was far from the postcard-perfect look I had envisioned. The beach resembled a metropolis teeming with sun worshipers vying for every available inch of space. It seemed that the entire crowd of the city had gathered here, and it was impossible to find solace in the chaotic crowd.

Multicolored umbrellas decorated the landscape, standing like beacons, blocking off the bustle. However, instead of inspiring awe, they only reinforced the all-consuming sense of disorder. The cacophony of voices, each speaking a different language, only added to the confusion. I longed for the peace of nature, but instead I was surrounded by the meditative noise of human noise.

The charm of Bar's coastal appeal has been overshadowed by the overwhelming presence of a certain tourist demographic. The large number of Russian visitors, while attesting to the city's appeal to a variety of travelers, created an atmosphere that felt detached from the local culture. This clash of cultures added to my frustration as the authenticity I craved was buried under the sheer weight of the crowd.

Even the natural beauty of the environment struggled to shine through the chaos. The once-stunning pines that stood sentinel along the shoreline seemed dwarfed and unnoticed in the bustle. It was a stark reminder that the appeal of a destination lies not only in its physical characteristics, but also in the harmony between nature, culture and the travelers it hosts.

Instead of providing a sense of freedom, the beach became a metaphorical prison that trapped me in the messiness of humanity.
But at one point I remembered that when life is full of disappointment, you need to find a way to look at the world from a different perspective.

And in this case, the point of view is different, it is different in the direct case, namely the vision of my Drone Potion.
Escaping the bustling beach, I hid on the second floor of a cafe under an umbrella with a juice, and armed with my trusty friend, we together began to film the turbulent scene unfolding below.

As the drone took off, I felt a sense of excitement. From this angle, the jumble of bodies and umbrellas looked almost picturesque, like a surreal mosaic of bright colors and human forms.

The very chaos that had ruined my mood was now a spectacle that demanded to be documented.
It was a stunning sight, with people packed together like sardines in a can. However, the drone lens offered a unique perspective—a way to capture a new artistic perspective on all the madness of this mess.

Through the lens, I focused on the many colorful umbrellas that dotted the landscape. From above, they resembled a bright patchwork quilt, each umbrella uniquely designed and arranged—a testament to the individuality that flourished among the sea of bodies. Zelya's drone allowed us to see a pristine corner of nature, untouched pine trees stretching to the sky.
Although the drone's lens could not pick up the scent of the forest, it provided a fresh perspective on the situation.

It reminded me that even in the midst of chaos, there are moments of beauty worth celebrating.
In retrospect, this encounter serves as a reminder that not every journey will be a fairy tale. This highlights the importance of managing expectations and recognizing that even the most famous destinations may not meet our desires. The bar is a reminder of the imperfections that can mar even the most picturesque places.

The trip with a drone diluted and colored in every sense our impression of this place, whatever it was. While this experience tested my patience and frustrated me, it also served as a reminder that sometimes the most adverse situations can bring unexpected rewards, like this unique drone shot of a crowded beach in Bar, Montenegro.

The photos are amazing, but what strikes me more is the teeming overload of people which spoils the natural beauty of Bar. It's a pity to see such a beautiful place so overrun with tourists 😒

At least you found that perch and got a unique perspective 👌

The view is beautiful and the way we see that people are enjoying themselves a lot. Going to such a place one meets friends and sees people and is very relaxed by nature.
