Tanah Merah



In Malaysia, in Papua, in Indonesia, in Singapore, in all those places speaking Bahasa Indonesian / Bahasa Malay there are some places called Tanah Merah. But what does Tanah Merah exactly mean? It is as simple as Red Earth. For Europeans like myself we are not used to those bright red colours for earth but that is how most of the dirt looks like in that part of the world. Not forgetting Australian's red centre of course! The picture above was taken today while on another Indonesian Island.
