From the Logbook...Aerial Sights


I LOVE the view form my office as a pilot.  God's creation is always making a new painting every single day of the year...they view is never the same.  It's awesome and I love it!!!  On the way home from Banjarmasin (see previous post) I took a few pictures of the newly planted rice paddies in full flood.  They were gorgeous.  Near the town we live in of PalangkaRaya, the soil is unsuitable to rice production.  So when we head to the coastal city of Banjarmasin, it is always a treat to see what stage the rice crops might be in.  They might be newly planted as seen above, ready for harvest, or somewhere in between.


As I approached about 15 miles from our home base of PalangkaRaya, the flight path leads us over the Sabangau National Park.  It is a haven for orangutans and other indigenous creatures to Borneo.  With the water high due to rainy season, the area was beautiful as well and the life giving water makes the area explode with life and color.
