 "Smiles" |
Danielle and Polly smile for a photo as we await our return home. These two women were very popular among the Sumatrans because of their red and blond hair.Sumatrans only have brown or black hair. Indoor flash photo. |
 "The Band" |
'And the band played on' This band is the Sumatran equivalent of a Mexican
Mariachi band. They had loud deep voices and knew English songs as well as
Sumatran songs. They also played on all night long. Indoor flash photo

 "Banana Flower" |
This is a wild banana flower. If you think about it, it does kind of look like a bunch of weird looking bananas. I took this photo though because I thought it was a neat looking flower. These are not the bananas you buy in stores either, these are smaller and have seeds in them. Outdoor, Natural light photo. |
 "River Cave" |
This cave is little more than a bend in the river where the water has carved
away at the shore. It goes back no more than a few feet, though it may be more
under water. The mosses and trees you see on the side get their water from
the daily rain as well from the water. Outdoor, Natural light photo.

 "White Water Fall" |
This water fall we encountered on a rafting trip. This was one of many water
falls we saw on our way down this river. I liked this one not only because
of the way that it looks, but because it shows the forest coming right to the
edge of the river. No room for a shore. Outdoor, Natural light photo.

 "Big Plant" |
This is a view of the rain forest from beside the trail we were walking along.
The plant is the center is larger than a person(perhaps I should have left
the person in front of me in the picture so you can get some perspective.) This
was in a sort of clearing. As you can see, plants have made use of every possible
inch of sunlight. Outdoor, Natural light photo.
|
 "Palms" |
Though I doubt that the trees in the background were really palm trees, they
do look like them. This is a great photo to show how green everything was,
even though this wasn't a true rain forest. Every single inch is covered
by a plant. Even the sides of the cliff in the background are. This valley
has an interesting story to how it was formed also. Outdoor, Natural light photo.
