I'm pretty sure this photo is of Lamalera, Lembata, E Indonesia. The black volcanic sand beach with its fishing boats lined up in front of their boatsheds. Part of the lower village can be seen behind. Palm thatch roofs are now often replaced with corrugated iron sheeting.

The picture shows a woven palm leaf sail belonging to a Peledang (or Tena) fishing boat from Lamalera, Lembata, East Indonesia. It is being repaired. In the foreground are logs which are used to facilitate the launching/beaching of the boats as they are pushed out to sea across the black volcanic sand beach, or back up the beach into their boatsheds when they return mid-afternoon.
