This is a scene of people standing in the ocean. A woman in the foreground is feeding seagulls, which are hovering overhead.

This is a beach scene. A man is carrying a woman over his shoulders, about to throw her into the water. There are many onlookers.

A man carrying a young child, as well as a woman are walking by a cross outside a church. The woman has her eyes closed and her arm raised, as if in prayer.

In the foreground is a man reclining on a beach chair. A bird is perched next to him staring at the camera. In the background are a woman and man walking. The man is wearing a t-shirt emblazoned with the phrase `I want pizza not feelings'.
