Sumatra

These are some more scanned photographs from a trip to Sumatra, Indonesia in 1994.

Bukittinggi

Bukittinggi is a small town in central Sumatra.  The region is famous for its curved roofed architecture resembling bulls horns.  A style inspired by an ancient legend.  The local ethnic people also take their name, Minangkabau (or winning bull), from this legend.
