During my trip to the Solomon Islands we got an invitation to attend a ceremony. Seemed to be a big deal since lots of little groups gathered for the event.
Most of what I observed was dancing which would take three minutes or less and ended right where I was besides the Chief ... which btw was a cannibal ... as all others !!!! Wasn't all that comfortable there !!! Sorry for cutting he feet ext but I was having trouble framing :) Nikon F3 35-70 2.8 !! Should have lots more but haven't been able to find them.
The interesting part is one from most groups had the light color material which looked like some sort of synthetic stuff? Dances were impressive and lots of noise
... btw there were clouds on the bg but overhead solid sun and way over 100 degree temps !!!
