Koh Panyee, Phang Nga Bay National Park, Phuket, Thailand, 2016

There are more than 80 limestone islands in this national park. This one, known as Koh Panyee, is home to a village resting on small pilings. Its inhabitants are Muslim fishermen who originally migrated here from Indonesia. Cut off from the mainland, their culture has maintained its character for over 100 years. In this image, I feature a local mosque that incongruously looms over the workaday world below it. The traditional golden domes contrast to the drying clothes arrayed below them as well as to the limestone cliffs that soar behind them.
