>> place: city of tenggarong, along mahakam river

you can say that i'm travelling professionally now, cuz almost every other week i'd be on a trip going somewhere out of town. this trip was done last december, and i had a chance to travel all the way inside the rainforest in east kalimantan and along the mahakam river. i was surprised to see the advance changes in those cities. they've changed a lot, and for the better. the cities are nice, clean, and very orderly. at least much much better than it used to.

this picture taken when we were driving along the mahakam river, in the city of tenggarong. through the advancement of the city infrastructure, i found less original houses (built on top of the river using logs) that used to fill the view along this biggest river in indonesia, the mahakam river. from the few i found, i insisted to stop and took the picture. hence, it's still a magnificent view to see.

who said our country is not beautiful?
