The Copernicus Sentinel-2B satellite takes us over Semarang, Indonesia. A port city on the north coast of Java, Semarang is the fifth-largest city in the country, covering some 374 sq km and home to just over 1.5 million people.
This true-colour image shows the heart of the bustling regional commercial centre in the bottom-left, where a range of industries from fishing to glass manufacture and textiles operate. Exports of rubber, coffee, shrimp, tobacco, and cacao, among other products, pass through the city’s harbour, which can also be seen in the bottom-left of the image.
The Java Sea dominates the left part of the image. Flood management remains an ongoing challenge for the area, with the city being prone to tidal flooding.
The island nation of Indonesia is particularly vulnerable to sea-level rise. Some parts of Semarang, such as the residential area of Candi Baru, shown in the bottom-left of the image, stand just above sea level.
In the right of the image we can see mainly agricultural land, with rice fields stretching across the landscape. Land subsidence has been widely reported in the area, particularly in the northern part of Semarang, accelerated by population increases and urban development.
The impacts of subsidence include the wider expansion of (coastal) flooding areas, cracking of buildings and infrastructure, and increased inland seawater intrusion.
Sentinel-2 is a two-satellite mission for land monitoring, providing imagery of soil and water cover, inland waterways and coastal areas, for Europe’s Copernicus environmental monitoring programme. Wide swath Sentinel-2 data can also contribute to monitoring land-use change that triggers erosion, forest and wildfires, and the onset of floods.

Central Java Photo Tour
I remember when I shot this photo in 2004, Our group had to leave the hotel at 4:30 in the morning to catch the First Light in this very historical place called Borobudur. Our Photo trip was also historical because it was organized by Singaporean and Indonesian Photographers, although Im the only Filipino who resides in Indonesia that joined this tour :)
I met a lot of Famous and great Photographers from Indonesia. It was a well organized trip. Kudos to all the Organizers.
When I was working for the Higher Colleges of Technology in Dubai Men's College, the school had regular academic years. So, we left for the entire summer of 1992 to explore Indonesia for the first time. We flew into Jakarta and went slowly south towards Bali and spent a lot of time here. We travelled in both directions by a combination of trains and buses and ferries.
