A man rides a horse in the Lamboya region of western Sumba, with traditional stone tombs in the background. Sumba, with its extensive dry grasslands, is one of the few islands in Indonesia where horses exist in large numbers and play an important part in local culture. Each spring, the Lamboya region hosts the Pasola festival, during which colorfully dressed horse riders engage in mock battles. East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. Image: Danzer_026812.
