BURIED VILLAGE

This is a portrait of a village destroyed by the cold lava ngledri of Merapi. At first the village looks lush, green, and flat. But after that, the surface becomes uneven villages and many houses were buried at the base of Mount Merapi, which was brought by the cold lava. This picture was taken March 5, 2011.



The river that divides the village ngledri


Must cross the river from village to village


Using bamboo to cross because of an emergency


Looks lonely


Houses damaged


Volunteer helpers


The house is buried
