Children of the Island
Whenever traveling to small island for scuba diving, I could not help to feel jealous with the children who live in the island. Their playground is the scuba diver and beach lovers’ paradise: white sand beach and beautiful ocean. These two children I met in one of Papua’s islands were the lucky ones to enjoy the paradise as their daily playground. Who needs television or play-station when you have beautiful beaches and sea to spend your day 🙂
Last month I was absence in posting Monochrome Monday images, thus I am planning to post it on weekly basis again this month. If you are a monochrome photography lover or regularly posting monochrome images, please join me by submitting your monochrome posts. The idea is to host a weekly “link-up party” but only for monochrome photography posts.
The link up will be powered by InLinkz. However I am not sure if it will work well since my blog is not self-hosted and still attached to wordpress.com, I guess we will find out about it later this week.
You can submit more than one post from Monday to Thursday this week, old posts are welcomed!
Only for posts with monochrome images (black & white or color monochrome).
You are welcomed to link your post to this post using the following HTML Code:

indahs: dive, travel & photography 
Really nice!
Thank you so much Rajiv!
I agree with you! Children who have the ocean and beach as their playground have the most wonderful place to play. Like your link-up idea just have to figure out which ones and how 🙂
Great Teri..and you can add more than one posts 🙂 I know you have awesome ones!! Thank you so much!
My children were raised in nature and forests beautiful place as well. Very lucky our children
Certainly! Not many children could experience such luxury 🙂
They’re adorable. And they seem to love having their picture taken.
They do, and too friendly, they even did some posing for me even though I was a stranger to them 🙂
A wonderful photo, Indah — happiness and freedom. 😀
Thank you Jet! Yes, happiness and as well freedom from fear to a stranger 🙂
What a great picture, Indah!
Thank you so much Norm! I am so happy to hear from you 🙂
Indah, the energy of the children comes through so vibrantly in your photo, that I had to look twice to realize it was black and white. I was seeing it in color! That is testament to your skill. Hugs!
Thank you so much Teagan 🙂 I am so happy to read your comment, truly an honor 🙂
Yep, same here.. when I lived in the islands, we did not need tv at all. We would go fishing, hunting, biking, boating.. and all that.. never at home most times 😀 (and not to be a bad influence on younger kids, but hardly ever at school either.. er.. sheesh, I can’t believe I confessed to that… )
😀 Lucky you! I think I would do the same if I were living in an island 🙂 Thank you for sharing your childhood, it sounds a cool one!
🙂 Not a cool one, but there were moments of happiness… 🙂
