The hut on the right has an intact dried palm-thatched roof and a woven wooden-slatted door. Behind them stand an unfinished red-brick building and a pink-walled structure, with utility poles and wires overhead. No people are visible.2012-01-04January 04 20122012-01-04 +1 copiesA dry, open construction site under clear sky. A long open-sided shed with a thatched roof of dried palm or grass sits on a low breeze-block and concrete wall, supported by thin wooden poles. Stacks of cut thatch and bundled wooden planks lie on bare reddish earth in the foreground. A large leafy tree stands at the right edge beside the shed. One person in a white shirt and dark trousers stands at the far left near the stacked materials. No ritual activity, deity, or a person is visible.2008-02-19December 06 20092009-12-06A rustic open-sided shed with a thatched palm-frond roof supported by wooden posts, used as a timber storage and work area.

No people are visible.2009-12-15October 31AFP 20132013-10-31A photograph of a damaged thatched-roof village house after a cyclone, with the dried palm-leaf roof partly collapsed and bare rafters exposed. Laundry hangs from a line and across the roof, a blue tarp and scattered debris lie at the base, and a pile of broken thatch sits in the foreground beside overgrown shrubs and a rusty drum. Coconut palms stand behind the house. Two people are visible at the right edge: a woman in a white sari walking across the dirt yard and a small child in pink. No a person candidate is visible.2012-01-07 +1 copiesJanuary 06 20122012-01-06A rustic thatched shelter with a dried-straw roof supported by rough wooden poles, open on the front and enclosed at the back by woven lattice bamboo walls. Inside stand stacked sacks, a few red and blue plastic buckets, a metal pot and a steel container on the ground. A white chicken walks on bare reddish-brown earth in front of the shed, with scattered straw and dried sticks on the ground. A small patch of green foliage and a palm tree appear in the background. No people are visible.2007-03-18A thatched hut with a dried palm-leaf roof stands behind a low concrete step. Five young men and boys sit and stand in front of it on a sandy ground. A boy in a blue shirt sits at the doorway, another in a brown shirt and jeans sits on the step, and a young man in a light blue shirt and checked lungi sits beside a boy in a red shirt. A taller young man in a pink shirt and checked lungi stands at the right, next to a heap of dried palm fronds. Palm trees and a building are visible in the background. The scene appears to show cyclone-damaged housing.2012-01-07A photograph of a storm-damaged village street after a cyclone. Thatched palm-leaf roofs are partly collapsed, exposing bamboo rafters, and coconut palms lean at angles.

Behind him a woman in a green sari stands by a blue-green house with laundry hanging on its wall, and a bicycle leans nearby. Overcast sky with clouds.2012-01-07
