Once a month, I go around the island to collect stream samples for a monitoring program. Last week i decided to take some pictures around for you, to give you a general idea of how Neverland looks like... Enjoy it.
1. View from a crossing point (climbs up the mountain to go to the northern side).
Collecting field data...
2. Masausi village... a nice volleyball field... Samoan are great volleyball players. I mean, they do wear flip-flops when playing and there are about 15 players per side when they play, but still, the are scaring, the way they serve!!
2b. Masefau village, fales...
These hanging oxygen tanks are actully used as a belt to announce the Sa. The Sa is a holy moment, about 10 minutes long, in which none is allow to walk. You better seat down if you hear this belt ringing, and be quiet... you are suppose to pray too, at least reflect on the mysteries of the universe.
3.Alega's beach
Waterfall in Alega. I ask the guy that comes with me to take a picture of me, and, for a joke, i acted like i was going to take off my shirt and jump in... this is the only still picture he could take! jajaja! 
4. these two pictures go together...
more streams
the born of an Aiga bus. Or maybe this is the burial.. not sure... let me intitle this photo as "the cycle of life"!
5. silent, sleepy village of Vatia
Art for the Pacific Art festival.. close to Vatia.
