Java Sea Deltas 照片檔

Rivers draining volcanic landscape from Java Island, flowing into the Java Sea via deltas on the north coast of Java, Indonesia. Following periods of rain, the rivers are laden with eroded sediments. The sediment-laden waters make spectacular discharge plumes as the river waters mix with sea-waters of the Java Sea. The deltas protrude from narrow fertile coastal plains which are intensively farmed, mostly for rice. From high altitude this unusual landscape has a distinct oil painting appearance.
