Life is stranger than fiction


©AFP 2005 Une mosquée, seul vestige des constructions bordant cette plage de Banda Aceh, sur l'île indonésienne de Sumatra, avant le tsunami.

This mosque is the only thing left on the beach in Banda Aceh. I remember seeing it on one of the news items , but now I look at the photo and it just seems so very odd. Is it the construction of the mosque? Is it because it has proper foundations and is made of different materials from the rest of the buildings? I should really like to see a photo of this mosque before the tsunami. And when you look at the beach surrounding it, it looks like so may beaches I have seen in Australia. Land untouched by man. The palm trees look odd too, but they obviously have the capacity to withstand a massive wall of water. Nature always gives us clues.
