Drying up

The floating petrol station at Belaga after the impounding of the Bakun Dam.
The once swift flowing Balui River which flows into the once mighty Rajang River
is now a pale shadow of itself.




You can find more beautiful views of the sky at SKY WATCH FRIDAY.

    Great capture. It must be a wonderful view when they were floating down the river.
