This black and white photograph depicts a scene from Longoteme, Tonga in 1963. A woman is sitting on a low wooden stool outdoors, engaged with one of her young children who she appears to be dressing or caring for using cloth draped over the child's torso. To her left sits another young boy squatting on the same bench holding a coconut close to his chest. Directly in front of them stands a young girl wearing a white dress looking towards something outside of the frame with an attentive expression, while to their right is yet another small child who seems slightly obscured and focused elsewhere. Behind this group, there's partial visibility of what appears to be part of a wooden structure resembling a traditional fale (a type of house), constructed from wood and possibly thatch or other natural materials. The setting suggests an outdoor rural environment with lush greenery visible in the background hinting at tropical vegetation typical of Tongan landscapes. The image captures a candid, everyday moment reflecting on the daily lives of these individuals within their community during that era.

Longoteme, Tonga 1963.
Two girls are washing clothes. Girl (left) is sitting cross-legged on coconut palm leaves and is washing from a large tin bowl. Girl (right) is seated on a long stool and is washing using a wash board in a large tin tub. There is a large kettle in the foreground and a dog with its front paws behind them drinking from a different large tin tub.

This image depicts a scene of traditional laundry practices. Two girls are seated on the ground, engaged in washing clothes. The girl on the left is using a large metal bowl filled with water and some detergent to scrub her clothes, while the girl on the right is using a washboard to clean hers in a larger metal tub. Both of them appear focused on their task. In the foreground, there's a large kettle, likely used for boiling water or steaming clothing. Behind them, a dog is drinking from another large metal tub, adding a casual and domestic atmosphere to the scene. The image captures a moment of everyday life in a location that seems to be a rural setting, possibly in a village or a community where traditional washing methods are still commonly used.

#Werewolf

The red waters of the Vežuva #rivulet can be seen in the photo. This is a very interesting water. The beds of this stream are naturally winding and protected. The valley is deep, wooded. The #Veržuva stream flows from the swampy #basins of the Bezdonii #fluvioglacial plain and is saturated with dissolved #minerals, which give the water of this stream a wide range of #colors.

The German Shepherd in the photo is mine.
