See These Gorgeous Images of a Real-Life Waterworld

Many of us have imagined what it’s like to live on water, and have wondered if it’s truly better than living on land. Based on Malaysian lensman Ng Choo Kia‘s beautiful images, it certainly appears to be an attractive option. The photographer captured the way of life of Malaysia’s Bajau people who live in stilted homes atop clear, turquoise waters. This version of “Waterworld” surely looks lovelier than the one featured in the iconic Kevin Costner film.
