    As night begins to fall, the men will always try to collect one last batch. Being a male dominant culture, the men take pride in looking out for their family. But as Made, the man in the picture, says “That last trip is for me. Five kilos more, will buy me a pack of cigarettes, that will get me through tomorrow.” : by mau, Views[320]
         		 But as children do, they always find time to have fun and enjoy their life in one of the most beautiful places in the world. : by mau, Views[977]
         		 Most locals have never left their small island, meaning most children will follow the steps of their parents and will become seaweed farmers.

    It was beautiful sunny Sunday Morning behind my neighbourhood where there are still farm fields. The ray of light are caught by the trees and made this beautiful scene. Locals like to let their chicken pet running freely through the fields. They're not worry about loosing them because eventually the chickens would get very far.: by lieshabear, Views[1217]
         		 Mrs. Nik and her son, Rofiq, waits in the shades while Mr. Nik works on burning the remaining cane plants after the harvest.: by lieshabear, Views[632]
         		 This is Mr. Nik. He lives a few blocks away, but his family owns a cane field behind my neighbourhood. The cane are harvest once in a year. After it's being harvested, the remaining plants have to be burnt before the farmers could plant the new plants. Mr. Nik works as a factory labor on week days and takes care of his field on Sundays.: by lieshabear, Views[723]
         		 The effects of a growing city is the growth of the housing which can expand to the far side of the city. Most affordable housing are small houses, built from what used to be a farming field. Some field still existing between those houses, like this chili field that is being harvest by Lastri. She is one of the locals that lives behind my neighbourhood and still owns her family field. Her sons have all grown up and chose to move to a bigger city rather than to be a farmer like their parents.: by lieshabear, Views[718]
     
     
    Talking about investment, they are indeed great investments for the future. These kids have dreams and ambitions to increase their standard of living and reduce poverty.
         		 This is an ordinary day in Dito's class in SD Mi Al Istiqomah. As a school located in slum area, some foster parents like me are investing our money in its kids.: by catherinesetiawan, Views[320]
         		 Dito has two best friends named Yoni and Hendi. Three of them are the smartest boys in the class. Yoni and Hendi are coming from low income family and also get subsidies from other foster parents to pay for their education.: by catherinesetiawan, Views[479]
         		 Meet Dito my foster kid, an 8 year old boy from East Jakarta. He is in grade three, studying at SD Mi Al Istiqoma in Pulo Gadung, one of the slum areas in Jakarta. Even though his family is poor and his father is an unemployment, but he can still get education in this place. : by catherinesetiawan, Views[395]
         		 Rain or sun the horses today shall run; bareback riding, some jockeys fall, stronger ones hold on and the lucky ones make it first to the finish line.: by t-soul, Views[869]
     
    Everybody is tense, focused on outrunning, afraid of losing; adrenaline smell of man and beast stench behind the metal bars. Seconds and the gun will fire, gates will open and dust shall fill the vacuum. : by t-soul, Views[279]
         		 Sandlewood Ponies of Sumbawa are much shorter than their cousin the arabian horse. However, they remain powerful giants juxtaposed with the lean 8 year old rider.: by t-soul, Views[305]
         		 The jockeys are the pride of their families and the ultimate heroes on this day. Fathers carry them on their backs into the arena, prepare their costume and whisper a prayer. Their contribution to the family starts at an early age and sometimes at a hefty price. : by t-soul, Views[305]
         		 Main Jaran is a once a year event. Thrill seekers from nearby villages crowd the stands, climb the surrounding walls or hang on trees for a peek. Betting occupies the majority, minimum bet for locals is 50,000 rupiah (5$), foreigners must start betting at 200,000. Jockeys' parents are paid 100,000 per race, stable owners make millions.: by t-soul, Views[315]
         		 The ex mariner Hasyim, like a modern Caronte of Dante’s Divina Commedia, is now working as accompany for workers from a ship to another. He took me for a trip in the canal for showing me proudly the working process. : by myversion, Views[820]
     
    Some of the workers have just finished to load a “pinisi” with gypsum, which going through the direction of the Surabaya harbor. All of the hooded workers which are covered with the whit dust of the gypsum are looking like the crew of a ghost ship. : by myversion, Views[863]
         		 Workers are often using the turbid canal which comes from the Ciliwung River(Turbid water river)and flows into the sea, for moving from one ship to another for trasfering the stocks and the workers. During the navigation it’s usual to see the maintenance work of these old wood ships called “pinisi” in Bahasa, directly on the little platforms on the water. : by myversion, Views[890]
         		 Conditions of work are still ancestral, they work in the old way, without glove, barefoot and they protect their respiratory tracts from dust by covering their faces with t-shirts.: by myversion, Views[697]
         		 Recently I lived two months in Jakarta. Of course Jakarta is not a typical touristic city, few monuments, few attraction. One of the places that caught my attention is “Sunda Kelapa”, the old harbor in Batava(the old name of Jakarta). The atmosphere here is dreamlike. The leaden sky, and the workers moving like ghosts are seem to take you into a dream. Still today the sailors are using a piece of wood instead of footbridge for unloading the stocks. : by myversion, Views[438]
         		 An elderly local wears his Batik shirt for the Friday tradition. : by travella, Views[246]
     
    Three local women take a break under a tree after exploring Borobudur temple.: by travella, Views[236]
         		 A trained crocodile and monkey attraction entertain the visitors. The trainer put a bean into the crocodile's mouth and the monkey open its mouth to take the bean and eat it.: by odell, Views[1509]
         		 The owner of the park provides some attraction moments for the visitors. At this moment, visitors usually try to touch the crocodile and take a photo with it.: by odell, Views[429]
         		 With $0.6 or Rp6000, people loves to bring their family here to see almost 2000 crocodiles.: by odell, Views[368]
         		 A 11 years old crocodile is waiting form the feed time. This park was established by Lo Than Mok on 1959 and located in sub-urban area in Medan (North Sumatera) Indonesia. The oldest alive collection is a 40 years old crocodile.: by odell, Views[459]
     
    A man with little girl look at the crocodiles in the inside of crocodile cage in Asam Kumbang Crocodile Park.: by odell, Views[418]
         		 Friends can be found everywhere, including in slums coastal of Jakarta. A young fisherman gave an refreshment to a monkey. He never forgot to share food and drink to the monkey before going to the sea though it was not his. : by iamdreamcatcher, Views[1005]
         		 Saiful (right) and his friend were relaxing before going to the sea. His a young fisherman with dark experiences from the sea. Two times imprisoned for illegal fishing in Northern Territory, Australia, not make him stop going to be a fisherman. Fishing is the only skill he has have. : by iamdreamcatcher, Views[632]
         		 A description of coastal density in Jakarta that can not be separated from the word poverty. The small fishing village at Cilincing is only an example from pockets of poverty in coastal Jakarta and Indonesia. Fisherman in this place was just a small fisherman and never be the owner from the boat. They will never win of wholesaler and financiers. : by iamdreamcatcher, Views[883]
         		 Here one woman wraps the meat in palm leaves ready for cooking into a celebratory feast. Sat in the shade of a beruga (traditional resting place), I was invited to share tea and sweet rice treats with this family, many of whom had travelled from afar to be with their family for the day, whilst others were absent having proudly secured jobs in Mecca. : by jenniferallison, Views[252]
     
    Every last piece of the sacrifices is cut up and divided equally into evenly sized piles, placed neatly in rows on palm leaves laid out on the ground. These are then allocated out to each of the families in the area. A careful watch is kept on this by a village elder who holds a list of names checked off as family members come to collect their share placed in black carrier bags. I was told that last year there had been more, donated by a wealthy individual.: by jenniferallison, Views[471]
         		 The children that first hid behind the bushes are now growing accustomed to the sights they are witnessing, showing more of an interest in the process, talking with one another, and even laughing and joking. In this image the young boy is mimicking the position of the previously hanging goat that is now laying out stretched on the ground. Adding a comical twist, the superman t-shirt he is wearing also gives an impression of him stretching out to fly. : by jenniferallison, Views[764]
         		 As the goats hung, post sacrifice, their blood was left to collect in buckets and carrier bags beneath, some escaping in the carving up and carrying of parts between members of the village, dotting leaves, bamboo and left over coconut skins with brilliant red droplets that would remain for days to come. : by jenniferallison, Views[257]
         		 Fortunate enough to be welcomed into a small village near Sengiggi, on the island of Lombok, Indonesia, I was able to witness the community coming together for the important festival of Eid Al Adha. Some wore traditional head scarves whilst others wore board shorts. Here younger children keep their distance from the sacrificing action, whilst others got involved, rituals being passed from generation to generation. : by jenniferallison, Views[240]
         		 This another Balinese farmer is 73 years old. He may work in the mud with all the physical tasks every single day, yet his smile shows that he's always happy. This taught me that you can be happy no matter what your situation is.: by hadiwina, Views[492]
