Kapuas river in front of Sultan Syarif Abdurrahman mosque



Next, we went to the nearby royal mosque. Look at Masjid Sultan Syarif Abdurrahman Al-Qadri pada siang hari (Mosque of Sultan Syarif Abdurrahman Al-Qadri at daytime) in the blogspot SENI LAMA MELAYU (MALAY OLDEN ART). From the left side of the mosque you could see a jetty.





It overlooks the Kapuas river, the longest river in the whole of Kalimantan, in fact whole of Indonesia...



A look downstream. The river mouth is about 20 km away.





A look across shows a portion of the city of Pontianak.





A look upstream. The river twists and turns some 1,000 km more inland.
