I've always had some sort of fetish for rivers. When I was small, I used to travel alone inside the jungle behind my grandma's yard in Raub just to look for small rivers and then follow it as far as possible to the source... or anything like that.
I grew up still harbouring the same fetish. Besides following small rivers I like to survey the big ones. I've practically travelled at least half the length of the Pahang river, at 459 km the longest in Peninsular Malaysia, not on foot of course. I've been along almost all the length of the Perak, Terengganu, Kelang, Muar and Terengganu rivers besides a few others. And a favourite is to sit and look idly at the river mouth especially if it is wide and immense.
In my latest travel to the East Coast, made with the wife more than 2 weeks ago, I finally had the time and opportunity to look at the mouth of the Kelantan river, from a place called Kuala Besar which could be literally translated as the big estuary. I first arrived there more than half a year ago but it was at night and I had to rush. So below are a few pictures taken of the river mouth during the day ya. Have a look...
A look towards inland...
And this is outwards to the sea...
A better look at the estuary through the fish-landing complex there...
Another look inland. Since I'm on the subject of rivers, here's some old articles that feature pictures of rivers. Cheerio! :]

You mentioned the word responsibility. Your government is directly responsible for the many deaths in Iraq, Afghanistan, Palestine, Lebanon and in many other parts of the world. Obama cannot change the world but we will try to change US policy. If you keep on supporting Israel, do not leave Iraq and Afghanistan we will do the followings: we will kill your ambassadors and their families, ceos of your companies and their families and other prominent personalities and then we will tell their families to sue the US government. No suicide bombers but we will employ snipers to kill those targets. Like in Iraq we will have our own ace, king, queen, jack etc. It will like candid camera, it can happen anytime and in any part of the world. Just wait for the surprises.
Hmm... I suppose the above comment is directed at someone else as it has no relevance to my posting nor to my standing and principles on world matters. Never mind, I understand what's it all about so I will just let it be...
orang tu marah kat jog bush atau obama atau USA kot.
