Hey everyone,

Just made a trip to China / Inonesia and also got quite a few pictures of kids there, so here are a few from Indonesia.

I will probably be posting more soon.

This girl was attending a religious ceremony at a temple but it seemed most of her attention was on the candy she was eating. People love their traditions but kids are of course too young to understand.



Kiting is a very popular hobby in some parts of Indonesia. There are a lot of competitions which have different categories such as decoration and skill in kiting. This boy was having fun with his friends in a rice field with his kite.



A lot of the people living in more remote areas on the islands are very poor. It was quite shocking to see how they lived in houses the size of my garage with 4 people with the earth as the floor and just two beds (mattresses on the ground). Our guide recommended to hand out some small stuff such as soap or candy for the kids, so we did.



Hope you enjoy it! Comments are appreciated of course

That first picture is so AWESOME!!!!
The colors, the expression on the little girl, the skin tone, everything is so nice!!
Almost looks like a painting!

Thanks!

i like the first one very much, second is pretty good and 3rd is not that good

Second one is great. Good composition. I really like the stories you put with the pictures. This looks like a very interesting place to go see and visit... wow I would LOVE to give those kids so much stuff! I think I would cry if I went there.

I love the second one best! His expression is adorable and the photo is beautiful, great job!

Nice photos but they look out of focus to me, at least the second one does. Maybe I'm imagining it?

Thanks.

Well that might seem like that because I uploaded them in pretty small size, or uploading on photobucket. On the original, though, the focus seems right even at full size.

I really love the first picture, to me it almost looks like National Geographic type material. I also like the second picture but the 1st one just wows me.
