Hi Chris

Very many thanks for sharing info and lovely pics from your Sulawesi trip both on this thread and on the thread.

In the way of things I happened to be thinking of Sualwesi last night when I received an email from Thomas Murray alerting me to some new photo galleries on his website and I wondered if I should share with the forum. Two of the new photo galleries are of Sulawesi and one features Tana Toraja and funerals and costumes similar to those shown in your images albeit on slightly older girls http://www.tmurrayarts.com/index.php?cID=1028 (see his link to the photo gallery just under the heading image). For those interested in more images of Sulawesi he has another intro and set of photos at http://www.tmurrayarts.com/journeys/my- ... wesi-2011/ - again see link to photos under the intro photo on his explanatory page.

A few photos from Torajan burial sites in the Rantepao area from the same trip. An interesting mix of Catholicism and indigenous custom:
