All those trees

All those trees
Kinabalu Park is situated on the Crocker Range on the western coast of Sabah. It is located within the district of Ranau, within the West Coast Division. This botanical site contains a variety of flora and fauna that ranges over 4 climate zones; from rich lowland dipterocarp forest through the montane oak, rhododendron, to the coniferous forests, to the alpine meadow plants, and to the stunted bushes of summit zone. The mountain is also known for its many carnivorous plant and orchid species, most notably Nepenthes rajah. It is also home to a multitude of endemic animal species, including the Kinabalu Giant Red Leech and Kinabalu Giant Earthworm. The park also plays host to a variety of birds, insects, mammals, amphibians, and reptiles. Mount Kinabalu is one of the youngest non-volcanic mountains in the world. It was formed within the last 10 to 35 million years. The mountain still grows at a rate of 5 millimetres a year.

The trees look interesting. I was unsure where Sabah is but looked it up. Malaysia is somewhere I would once have loved to travel to.

In keywords you can see it's in Borneo -- if you like the nature, consider visiting its different parts - Malaysian, Indonesian or Brunei.

I think I've missed my opportunity! I had a friend who taught English in Brunei but he's now back in the UK. Health reasons stop me from travelling much these days, sadly.
Many thanks for your visit and yellow stars, Michal!
