Ela Bay PNG



Spent a morning at Ela Bay, the sea a dark crystalline blue competing with the sky. There was a stiff breeze despite the bright sunshine. And as I looked down at the little hamlets - the hillside houses reminding me of the photos of 50s australia, seen through old copies of architecture magazines.

Church in Port Moresby





This is a Roman Catholic church in Port Moresby; it is interesting to note that local cultural symbols have been incorporated into the typical elements of a church building. I feel that it adds colour; as do the local people - who attend church in the same carefree manner thay appear to embrace their daily life. They worship outside on the lawn in the weak winter sunshine; colourful in their attire and mannerism.
