From the Heights of Cot Kareung Puteh Hill

When standing in a high place on my first experience, I might be amazed by the unobstructed view of the horizon. The panorama before me reveals the rhythm of the Lhokseumawe landscape that is enchanting from its irregularities, differences, and splendors into a tapestry woven by natural elements, human touch, and dynamically evolving architecture that meets the needs of the community's lifestyle patterns.

A telephoto lens will capture these differences, irregularities, and splendors clearly, depending on which perspective we choose to display.

It became an introspection for me when reaching a new, higher position by accommodating differences, shortcomings, and challenges, creating the interdependence needed for harmony. The embodiment of my reflection flickered as I enjoyed the view one afternoon on September, 11, ‎2024 at the top of the Cot Girek Kandang hill. Here I am accompanied by two of my friends @akukamaruzzaman and @anzirpasai.

This location is on the edge of a paved village road, an unnamed road connecting Jl. Elak with the Mukim Kandang settlement in Lhokseumawe. Local residents call it the toponym Cot Kareung Puteh. This place is not a tourist spot that provides facilities for visitors. You can park your vehicle freely on the side of the road. For those who want to relax, It's a good idea to bring some snacks to enjoy while relaxing.

The best view can be enjoyed towards the eastern horizon, where at sunrise, the sun slowly appears from the sea horizon the calm waters of the Malacca Strait, and the lush green expanse dominated by palm trees.Some of the obstructed views are the expanse of rice fields located between residential areas and hills, which are a sight to behold. I can capture this view when flying a drone.

The most prominent building is a mosque with a dome standing above the other buildings. Lhokseumawe is an administrative city at the district level in Aceh, Indonesia, which is predominantly Muslim and is located on the north coast of the island of Sumatra.

If you are interested in enjoying the panorama there in its entirety, I have created a 360° Pano on SkyPixel using the DJI Mini 3 Pro drone. Click the following LINK.

As evening approached, a cloudy atmosphere enveloped Lhokseumawe. Before heading home, I captured a final photo with Anzir as the model.

Thanks for your precious time.
The photos were taken using a Sony A7III camera and a DJI Mini 3 Pro drone.
Thank You
