 Vanuatu - the chief in this traditional village talked about the effect of major cyclones on their life, and what they do to prepare and survive them.

I know the photo is technically far from ideal (the sun and shadows were brutal, and my little onboard flash is pretty useless), but I wanted to share the subject.

Thanks for that, Barbara.... I was so torn between coming up with a clever title, or something that might prove useful to explain the situation.

I remember that I already wanted to make a comment during voting but somehow I must have missed it...
Considering the circumstances you did a great job!
If it wasn't for your title, I would have wondered what on earth they were doing - a picture where you can spent some time exploring all the details, the child in the backbround, the vegetation, the clothing, the fruit skin on the ground, the young man's hairdo, even the chief's bare feet are interesting. Thank you for showing all this to us!
