Above ground Gunung Mulu National Park is a network of rivers and trails cut through the rainforest. Today’s photo is one view over the park. On this day, Mount Mulu itself was shrouded in cloud. In the foreground just right of center you can make out a stretch of a river.
The reason that sprang to mind was the skull-like shape just up and right of the center of this photo. It’s actually just the way the sun in breaking through the jungle canopy to illuminate that one spot on this cave exit, but it does look like a disembodied head!
Low cloud fills a valley in this photo taken in the Gunung Mulu National Park while another layer of cloud shrouds the ridge leading to Mount Mulu.
When flying over the jungle and looking down the canopy just looks like one impenetrable solid mass of green. But as this photo shows, from the ground looking up you can see plenty of sky!
This image is typical of the jungle canopy – all the branches and leaves at the top of the trees and barren trunks all the way to the ground.
Our suite on the 15th floor had great views to the west but there were some downsides to the hotel. It’s just across the freeway from Miami International Airport so depending on the direction of the traffic you can be kept awake by aircraft noise. The other downside is that without a car you’re captive – there’s nothing within walking distance of the hotel.
