Peninsular Malaysia

    An amazing phenomenon in Selangor River. Note how the river - yellow because of its heavy sediment load from land clearing activity upstream - temporarily turns wonderfully blue, and then back to "warna teh tarik" (tea with milk color). How so??

    Perhaps the bulldozer operators in an upstream land development site had a tea break?

      This is a very charming image. Isn't it a pity that aircraft have windows between the lens and nature!

      great shot but the blue haze over the image from the window lets you down.... stunning view though

    9. Wakx (61 months ago | reply)

      I already filtered out a lot of the haze, which is not (only) from the window, but mostly from peat and forest fires in Sumatra. Malaysia is almost permanently covered under a filthy haze of air pollution.
