Putting Things into Context

There were a bunch of satellite images of the Acehnese coastline before and after the tsunami that were available on many websites after the tsunami. I always thought they were really cool and very telling of the extend of the damage done by the water. Tonight I came across these 2 images of the village of Lampuuk. I thought I'd include them because only a few days ago I was in this village. I walked around the village extensively and climbed atop the mosque. The mosque can be seen in both images - the white square in the middle. The landscape now is greener than 3 days after the tsunami, but as you can see from the photos in my previous post, the obliterated landscape is still quite barren.
