A view across one of the three main waterways which cut across the "Island" (it's really more of a high spot in the ocean)

Local fishing boat - very friendly people, who love hamming it for the cameara!

A string of BIG firecrackers set off (for no apparent reason) in the local market. Not the best shot, but there wasn't a lot of time to compose here.

These are primarily meant as documentary images rather than artistic ones, however as always comments/critique/observations are appreciated.

I adore the colors!!! Wondering about the sanitation - food drying on the pavement. In the 3rd photo - The flags offering "shelter" from above with the light streaming through... I also really like how the boat is angled in the 2nd photograph.
Again, thanks for sharing!

Tirediron, question- did you get a sense of an average family size residing in the homes you captured?

From what I could see, families appeared to be in the 1-3 children range for the most part, and not a lot of the extended families you see in other parts of Asia.
