Luwuk, Sulawesi

Clear sea waters of the Luwuk coastline Km 5. As seen on the photos, the sea has clear colour bandings that is caused by its characteristic sea topography that starts from its sandy beach as a shallow shelf where corals can grow (the turquoise-colored waters), and it then has a sudden drop into the deep (the darker lazuli blue water) - that creates an steep vertical sea wall.


Cocoa is a locally grown on the cooler hills of Luwuk. Here we see a farmer drying out his cocoa seedpods by the sea...


More pictures coming soon... sooner than last time... I hope
