"To Penan. . .the landscape is more than simply a vast, complex network of rivers. Above all it is a reservoir for detailed ecological knowledge and a repository for the memory of past events" (Brosius 1986:175*)

Here are some photos of mine, taken in 2010, of Penan rivers. The children are of Long Tangau, in an offshoot of the Plieran River, and the rest were shot along the Danum River. Both rivers are now submerged by the Murum Dam.

As usual, wonderful photos. And, re Pete B. I wonder how he is doing.
