[Landscape] Merbok jetty

The Merbok river, being part of the historical Bujang Valley in Kedah, was once an important maritime trading port more than a thousand years ago. Although large boats are now unable to sail in, there is still a jetty for fishing activities on the river. The government is also intent to develop the area into a tourism attraction, if ever so slowly and ineffectively.

Nevertheless the river, the jetty and the mangrove forests, together with nice sunset lighting, make up for a good landscape scene.
