While browsing Google Maps, I found this Jakarta neighboorhood (coordinates: -6.100917, 106.920639) with strange long shapes between the houses:
At first I thought it was floating logs/lumber among floating houses, but the picture below (the best of the 6 pictures of this place found on Google Maps) shows that:
- The houses are not floating, they are stilt houses, some are two floors high. This means that they can't move, and if the long shapes were lumber they would be very difficult to move.
- The long shapes themselves seem to be on stilts, 1 or 2 meters above sea level.
Question: What are these long shapes?
It seems unusual enough that it should warrant a visit.
