Another photo of Sea Bajau children at east side of Mabul island where Sea Bajau villagers build their homes. Our trekk group just returned from snorkeling at Kapalai island and returned to Mabul during the low tide where these children came out to play at shallow waters, some of them catching fish or swim. It was noticed that everyone of them could swim and there was literally no inhibitions at the island, no signboards, no written rules. But the villagers are able to observe traditions and customs in very orderly manner in going about their daily lives, even children who are not taught at school. Carefree days of growing up. Where children stood, high tide level will cover it to reach just below the houses.


To new visitors, cost of fuel is up, so expect some increase on boat trip cost to islands?

Hi Bill,

Splendid view of "life on the water" I like busy wooden columns that creates to help building a platform and colorful life there but of course children are adding great value. Palm trees, cloudy sky are beautiful as same your capture with its natural colors, sharpness. Congratulations. Have a nice new week.

Best Regards,

Ertugrul

Bonjour Bill
Un beau cliché intéressant et bien construit qui nous permet de voir comment vivent les enfants au bord de l'eau.
Merci pour le partage et bonne journée.

I wouldnt mind being a child in this particular location. A beautiful work from you yet again, a very poignant and powerful image, nicely composed, and well executed technically in general.

Hi Bill,
yet another interesting daily life photo from these fastinsting place in Borneo. I like the composition with contrast between paradise-like palm trees in the background and those not so paratide-like stilt houses before them. Strong picture indeed.
