The shores of coastal towns have a special charm, especially if you visit them late at night when there is a bright moon. Near the houses, in the sea, you will see boats resting from their daily work, which usually begins at dawn. Their work may be fishing or transporting passengers to other nearby coasts, a job done by very humble people.

In the area where I was born and live (Cumaná, Venezuela), this sight is very common. We have often been part of it, when, on a night of adventure and partying, we seek retreat, solitude, and the enjoyment of the sea breeze.

Here are some photos I took with my cell phone on a night in late December 2025, under the glow of light bulbs and the midnight mist.
