Photos from Haitian/Dominican border

Border town on Haitian side, as viewed from it sister town in the DR




Market day in the same town














Looking up towards the neighbouring national park in the DR, protected but under heavy pressure from the surrounding communities



















Looking back down towards Jimani, the town which was flooded out in 2004. Note the large alluvial fan, caused by the flooding, which starts in communities far upstream
















Down in Jimani, standing on the alluvial fan, looking at the new barrier being build in preparation for the next flooding event.
