Masha Allah, I think everything from sands right? Cause I saw the buildings all in brown colour? . And sis Amirah, can you say that high place as a mountain? I think its not a mountain, its just a hills maybe, cause from what I know, a mountain is the place which have magma and lava in it.
So wheres the sheikhs masjid? And I heard its surrounded by Shia people right? Is it?

I will paste more pics of my village then insha Allah.

Another pics of my village. My village is Agam.

Nice pics

I was born in George Town, Penang ISland, Malaysia.
The city was opened by Captain Francis Light on 1786.

Pictures:
1) Gurney Drive, George Town
2) Town Hall, George Town
3) Penang Bridge

Other pics:

1) Masjid Kapitan Keling - the oldest mosque in George Town.
2) Esplanade, George Town
3) George Town

After posting about my hometown a few posts back. It stirred up some old memories. I looked for some more old pictures online. I found this aerial photograph taken in1992. The town still looked much the same except for a lot of new buildings and roads that were not there when I was growing up. I drew an arrow pointing to the house I grew up in. It was built in the late 1700's. The factory I circled in red was origianly a textile mill built in the early 1800's. During WW2 and the Korean war it was a munitions factory. Later it was owned by my stepfather and Mr. White, they designed the Poly Choke, a device for adjusting shot patterns on a shot gun. Mr. White was the inventor, my step dad was an investor and engineer in the co. he designed the machinery for making the chokes.

LOL you're so funny Bro.......Not Allllllllll mountains have lava boiling and ready to erupt you know lol. But those mountains that are surrounding Dammaj are not really that high, but they are definitely mountains!! lol

And the Sheikhs Masjid is the big white building in the middle........and yes, Dammaj is mostly made up of Shi'a people, and it's mostly only the Sheikhs camp which is Sunni

Whooops.....I see sis amirah_87 already answered sorry I didn't see

the ones with the lava and all are called volcanoes right.

wa alaykum ass salaam

PS: like the pics of indonesia!!

Indonesia is on a continental-oceanic destructive plate boundary. You can say that destructive plate boundaries go through four phases. There is an oceanic-oceanic phase which produces low-lying islands like the Mariana islands, an early continental-oceanic phase which produces mountains and island chains similar to those of the Andes and the Cascades, a late continental-oceanic phase which produces mountainous islands such as those of south-east Asia, and an early continental-continental phase which forms mountains with a small number of volcanoes, like those in the Mediterranean. When the two continents fuse a mountain range like the Himalayas forms, halting most of the convergent movement.

It's hard to see beautiful 'kampung' in Penang. Indonesian should be proud of their kampungs.
