Spent a weekend visiting family on Pentecost on the occasion of a nephew's first communion. It was a fascinating amalgam of Catholicism and Kastom.

Cyril is Georgeline's father. In the manner of fathers the world over,
he can sometimes be curt, demanding and undemonstrative. But his love
for his grandchildren is undeniable.
Traditional houses in Pentecost are constructed without windows, to protect
against hurricanes. The only light in the house during my visit to
came through the door. A flash would have been terribly intrusive, so I whiled
away the rainy hours searching for the right low-light settings.

A second round of photos from my last visit to Lalwari, trying out some new approaches.
The main meeting house (or nakamal) is a feature of just about every village in Vanuatu. The Pentecost style features a peaked ceiling that drops almost to the ground on the sides. This detail shows how natangura thatch is tied to bamboo poles to provide a remarkably strong - even hurricane proof - covering.
