In this digital era, mobile phones have become more than just a communication tool, their presence has changed the way we interact with the world and each other, one of which is the simple photography that we can produce through mobile phones.
Good evening, my friends, wherever you are. I hope you are all healthy and happy, allowing you to go about your daily activities as usual. I hope you all have a pleasant day.
In this blog, I want to share some simple photographs I captured during my trip to Bener Meriah, which show the impact of the natural disasters that have struck my area in recent months.
So, please continue to follow my blog to see some of these simple photographs, along with short articles from me.
In the past few months, I've traveled to Bener Meriah, and I've shared my experiences in several recent blogs.
But in this blog, I'm back again to share some of the remaining images from my trip to Bener Meriah with friends, stopping briefly in one of the landslide-affected areas. Banners were even installed along the road indicating that the area is prone to landslides.
If you've been following my blog recently, I've shared some of the damage caused by a natural disaster that struck my region in late 2025. This resulted in extreme flash floods and landslides, claiming over a thousand lives and severely impacting millions of residents. Furthermore, the environmental damage was also a serious concern.
One of the worst natural disasters occurred in the Bener Meriah area, a regency located at a high altitude with stunning views. Now, all that remains is rubble and the remains of a landslide, as I've shared some images of in this blog.
This area used to be a favorite spot for travelers who took a moment to enjoy the scenery and take some nature photos.
But now, as far as the eye can see, the scars of natural disasters, such as flash floods and landslides, dot the landscape.
My friend...
Therefore, I personally learned a profound moral lesson from this disaster: that nature is a trust, not a community. I believe the current disaster is a brutal feedback loop from nature resulting from excessive forest exploitation and land use change. I witnessed this throughout my trip to Bener Meriah, and we need to remember that nature is a trust that we must protect, not just a source of economic profit.
Despite this, the atmosphere in this area remains cool, typical of the highlands, and a thin mist occasionally covers the road. I personally felt this while traveling to Bener Meriah.
My friends...
Although some areas were severely affected by the natural disaster, I was still able to enjoy the open landscape, with views of valleys, lakes, craters, and even vast expanses of community gardens along the roadside.
Well, my friends, those are some of my simple photographs that I'm sharing in this post. I hope you all enjoy and are entertained by what I've shared. I also extend my heartfelt thanks to all of you who have taken the time to view and read my blog to the end.
Please leave your comments, support, and input, which means a lot to me so I can make this blog even better in the future.
That's all for now.
Greetings, everyone.
See you in my next blog.
