Boat on the Andaman Sea, Myanmar, 2005
A Moken fishing boat moves past one of the Sister Islands at sunset in Myanmar's Mergui Archipelago. These boats, called kabangs, are the mainstay of the nomadic Moken culture. Each is roughed out in the forest from a single tree, then hauled to the beach to be fitted with a hull and roof. Some take up to four months to build.

日落时,一只莫肯渔船驶过缅甸丹老群岛海域的一座姐妹岛。这种渔船,也叫做卡邦船,是莫肯游牧民族的文化支柱。每只船都是用一根独木在森林里做出大致的形状,然后拖运到海边沙滩上配上船头和船篷蓬顶。有些渔船还需要花4个月的时间来制造。
