Until 2015 Indonesia (and the Dutch, before independence) uprooted Javanese families and resettled them in less populated areas of the country. This fishing village outside of Kendari, Sulawesi, is composed of families 'transmigrated' in the 1970s. They scratch out a living from the local waters.
I spent a day in the village, ostensibly to meet a group of local women who'd established a small food processing business.

Drying fish in the hot Indonesian sun
A seeming mix of curiosity and scepticism
Fishing with just some line and a hook
When low tide and the heat of the afternoon coincide
Mobile minimarket
A mother proudly shows off her baby daughter
I was enough of an attraction myself to warrant a candid photo
