Since ancient age, humans was adapted to live at caves and plain, and after a long period our ancestors was mastered the tecniques to built simply houses.

Cultural village is an idea place for tourists who like to study multi cultures, living styles and histories of different races.

Built with bamboos, woods/ trunks and leaves, houses of indigenous and minorities are still very traditional, however we can find common and different characteristics between houses of indigenous and minorities . This type of houses not only can be found at Malaysia, but also at some neighbour countries, even at US, for example - the Chamorro Cultures.

Hi Ally

A cultural village, how authentic is it? If it is nicely made, then it would be worth a visit, but you never know. Good framing and high sharpness, however I have a feeling that there is a blueish hue. Said that, you have been there not me, so you will know the right hue for this forest. Otherwise well done

Best regards
Urs

Hello Ally,
What a beautiful place was chosen for this cultural village! I think that such villages here, in the former Soviet Union, are called "ethnographic museums in the open air". But we do not have so luxurious forests and so interesting wooden architecture. In addition the culture demonstrated in this village is simply unique, for example the staircase at the right. Very well composed and captured!
Best regards,
Sergiy

Hi Ally,
This is certainly something I like to do and a place I like to see. When I travel, I rather like small villages versus large city. Beautiful surrounding full of tropical vegetation, so green and refreshing. Very simular to some small villages in Laos and Thailand. Nice composition wth the path leading in. I was expecting more of a dirt path instead of paved concrete. Good quality shot, good sharpness, good light management and beautiful colors. Thanks Ally.

Hi Ally
The pathway leads the eye into the forest and you have used the trees very effectively to frame the image.

Hi Ally,

The path leads my eyes toward the houses whicgh is giving depth to the composition. The trees and the vegetation are framing well the houses. The late afternnon light is giving a good contrast to the colors. Have a nice day.

Bonjour Ally.
J'aime les trois photos sur ce village. Cette architecture nous parvient de la nuit des temps. Elle semble fonctionnelle et bien adaptée à l'environnement qu'elle respecte. Une bonne leçon pour tous. La qualité de la photo est évidente.
Bonne journée !

Hi Ally,
Well composed with path, huts and trees, just maybe more contrast and saturation for colors ...

Hello Ally,

This is a fine recording of the traditional village in the rain forest!
The cottages merge well with the surroundings and shows how the people is used to live in and with the nature...
A balanced composition with fine details, impressive lush vegetation!

The location of the cabins surrounded by this flora certainly is a very quiet place to share with others all the differences among themselves or even into some particular subject of study. But when is time to the domestic tasks things may complicate a little. It remembers me the ( Big Brother ). There is a difference between isolated youngs in group or couples. Unless this complex will be supported by a canteen. Is the area a wide one or is what was just photograthed? Interesting diversity of trees and plants around. In particular the left corner shows two beautiful kind of plants. Warm regards. Domingos
