When you go out in the sun, you can get sunburnt. Pale skin is more likely to burn than dark skin. Your skin tries to protect itself from the sun by producing melanin, which makes your skin darker. We call this a suntan. The people in the picture have darker skin where the sun has been shining on their skin, and paler skin where it was protected by their shoes.
