Bajo people, a photo from Nusa Tenggara Timur, Nusa Tenggara

Photographer's Note

At sunset fishermen take care of their small boats in Labuanbajo harbour.
Bajo people is famous as the great sailor man ever. They live and they death around the ocean. Moreover, they build their own resident close to the ocean as well as to make a living.
That is why they are called as sea nomads, because they were living at first on floating house boat.

Bajo people finally spread to all corners of the territory since the 16th century to about 40-50 years ago, last displacement occurred in various areas on Nusa Tenggara Timur.

Great idea and perfect realization.
Excellent work,

Ciao Federico
You're well travelled & have a good album here. Chose this picture to comment on as I was attracted with the golden colour. The boats bathed by the last light of the sand looks beautiful, with the silhouette of the hills in the BG. The lady on the right looks like a mermaid emerging from the water. Good work!
With Regards
Angshu

Hi Federico

A wonderful sunset well captured, as I like. Silouhettes of the mountains, burning sky, an excellent POV with these boats on the foreground and a beautiful colored sea with the waves. Well done
Regards
Bernard
