1.6 Yibihilu, place of the deep water: village clearing on a bluff at a bend in the Kum River. The village longhouse is toward the top of the clearing; Bruce and Eileens house is toward its bottom. The photo was taken from the air on returning from a field break, when the plane passed over Yibihilu in route to the Nomad airstrip
12.1 Bruce stands in the main clearing of the old village site of Yibihilu, which has since been overgrown by the intruding forest. For Gebusi as well as for Bruce, seeing old habitation sites brings back nostalgic memories of past experiences and of people who have died.
12.2 The main village path and houses of Yibihilu as they appeared back in 1981. The view is almost identical to that of the previous photograph, which was taken seventeen years later, in 1998.
