Mengabang, oysters paradise (_DSC0055)
Quoting from the legendary Awang Goneng's blog:
I am reminded of the tudung periuk this morning when a thought flashed in my mind, the word mengabang. What is mengabang? No dictionary of Malay that I have contains the word, and Winstedt, who is normally very good at things like that, is completely silent. SOURCE
I'll now try my version of it: Its a body of water which is sourced from the sea or river mouth and flows like a river in parallel whilst being very close to the sea shore. The water is a little saltish. The habitat is a mixture of both worlds.... fresh water and salt water alike.
The natives by the way have often warned me not to go there all by myself, there has been stories of people seing crocs, anacondas and even ghosts mind you.
Gears: Nikon D80 and Nikon Nikkor 50mm F/1.8 AFD
Location: Marang fishing village, Terengganu, Malaysia
Processing: USM, White Balance
