Beach and Coastal Area in Indonesia

North Sulawesi Beaches 1

Indonesia is the largest archipelago in the world comprising 13,487 islands, therefore it is also called the archipelago. According to the United Nations correction in 2008, Indonesia is the fourth longest coastal area country in the world after the United States (U.S.), Canada and Russia. Long coastline of Indonesia stood at 95 181 km. So do not be surprised if Indonesia has a number of beautiful beaches. Here is an example of coastal areas, shown on this page, and will be added at any time, if I got a photo-recent photos on other beautiful beaches.

Dragonfly (Anisoptera)

A dragonfly is an insect belonging to the order Odonata, the suborder Epiprocta or, in the strict sense, the infraorder Anisoptera (from Greek ανισος anisos, "uneven" + πτερος pteros, "wings", because the hindwing is broader than the forewing). It is characterized by large multifaceted eyes, two pairs of strong transparent wings, and an elongated body. Dragonflies can sometimes be mistaken for damselflies, which are morphologically similar; however, adults can be differentiated by the fact that the wings of most dragonflies are held away from, and perpendicular to, the body when at rest. Dragonflies possess six legs (like any other insect), but most of them cannot walk well. Dragonflies are among the fastest flying insects in the world. (source: Wikipedia)

Art of Nature

Much of the art that exists in nature, sometimes we do not realize it, but almost every time we see and touch. Here are some that I catch, though perhaps only myself who think this is the art of nature.

Plumeria - 2

Plumeria (common name Frangipani) is a genus of flowering plants in the dogbane family, Apocynaceae.It contains seven or eight species of mainly deciduous shrubs and small trees. They are native to Central America, Mexico, the Caribbean, and South America as far south as Brazil but can be grown in tropical and sub-tropical regions.

Plumeria is related to the Oleander, Nerium oleander, and both possess an irritant, rather similar to that of Euphorbia. Contact with the sap may irritate eyes and skin. Each of the separate species of Plumeria bears differently shaped, alternate leaves with distinct form and growth habits. The leaves of P. alba are quite narrow and corrugated, whereas leaves of P. pudica have an elongated shape and glossy, dark-green color. P. pudica is one of the everblooming types with non-deciduous, evergreen leaves. Another species that retains leaves and flowers in winter is P. obtusa; though its common name is "Singapore," it is originally from Colombia.
