Confluence
The bridge is a means that brings people between two edges, and in Yalang, a village in Aceh Besar, an old bridge has been built at the meeting of two rivers, which in terms of geography known as Confluence, or also known as a conflux.
The bridge that wooden flooring and tied up with cables that iron has long been built to connects the area in the west and the east bank of the Aceh River, the main river flowing in Aceh valley. Every passer in the area would see Confluence where a stream that comes from west (right) spilling water into the main river, Aceh river (left).
The river water when I took these pictures is yellow, turbid and muddy due to heavy rainfall in the mountains behind the Aceh Besar. When declining rainfall, river water will be clear again, sometimes both streams equally clear, and at other times, one was turbid and the other clear depending on the area, which is poured by heavy rain.
Here, with the old bridge, that is still could be used by pedestrians and two-wheeled vehicles, the scenery looks great, even in a land there, it seems also, overcast was hanging above and soon will rain. And this is a view on conflux in Aceh-Sumatra.
incredibly beautiful

Beautiful pictures with the wonderful atmosphere! The bridge is very nice for most people, except me, I think I could not even step on the bridge because it is very narrow, very long and especially very high from the river..... Um.....I forget to tell you another one thing that I fear; it's the height!!! It looks silly again, right? (after the SPIDER) It's a secret, don't tell anyone, ha ha :)
