I easily imagine myself living on an island in a time when this kind of scene was regular. Although life was not easy in the past, in some ways it must have been so much calmer and simpler. However, I am not sure I would have wanted to live in Papua New Guinea until recently. A bit too "uncivilized", if you know what I mean.
This is a beautiful scene! The island in the background and the tree branches framing the top makes this photo a wonderful rêverie!

While searching, I found other example that were new to me.
