Cities on the banks of rivers
are seats of civilization from olden times
Cities on the sea shore
are places for trade and commerce from ancient times
Cities on places away from sea
could be places of safety at all times
be the reason for ancient kingdoms in short
settle their capital far away from the ocean
The sea devours and devastates a lot
as it brings prosperity and growth
the iconic image of sea is ironic
a paradoxical influence as well as being enigmatic .

Had always love this picture – I have seen few taken at different time of the day, even era when it was less crowded (both by people and buildings)
