The third man, that's the point. On the way to the market with a cock (maybe even stolen, because they copied that, since the Indonesian invasion. They have taught this skill quickly). Enarotali area, the head of the racing strip.

This woman has been modern: no digging stick, but a real shovel, and also with clothes on. (Enarotali) The young man is right with my bag of stuff to bring to the flying strip. I had to arrange Waghete electricity as lightning and the other one was broken.

Another idyllic scene, outside Wamena, in the early morning. Also on the way to the market where they often the whole morning waiting, hoping to sell anything.

A man with a super large cabbage on the way to the market (Wamena)

This is a common image. After working in the fields the women go home, digging stick in hand and a carrying-net full of turnips and leafy greens. And then of course there is the kitchen work. (Wamena)

A woman in mourning, smeared with white clay, which can not be washed, they should naturally over time disappear. Heavily loaded uphill. They were slaves.

Back to Baliem Valley, where I saw an old woman working in her garden. In these communities, you work until you drop. Retirement is not here, not old age and the family often one does not expect much. This little person is perhaps fifty years. Their life is a real war of attrition.

Waghete taken by: women at work. These are all highly modern, they have clothes on, who in some cases never washed and finally falls apart. In the background some modern homes because they have corrugated iron roofs.

Same place, but this time around WAGHETE. These are all the lucky owners of a shovel! We will not stop at something, you have a shovel because you do not talk about. There was something else. If you have your whole life to have to pick with one count fabric, a shovel is a small miracle. They also view that the people of the Wissel Lakes are grayer, dirtier than in the Baliem Valley.

Apparently this man is not in possession of a shovel and so he digs with his hands the earth out.
