Batak Toba Sumatra Village

The Christian Batak culture of Lake Toba is strikingly different from the rest of the island. Stone furniture next to the steep roofs of ornate houses are characteristic of the architectural style of these people. Their houses are raised with the lowest level used as a pen for their animals.

This photo was taken by a Yashica Electro 35CC and COLOR-YASHINON DX 1:1.8 f=35mm lens using Kodak 135 daylight film, the negative scanned by an HP Scanjet G4050 and digitally rendered with Photoshop.
