Description

In the foreground another dugout with a paddler in the back and a boy sitting about halfway in the canoe pulling a bunch of just-cut saplings alongside the canoe. These saplings are going to be used in building a house. The blue colour of the water is due to reflection of the blue sky. On the other bank of the river a few Asmat family houses can be seen.
