## Southwest Coast, Timor, Indonesia

The dry hilly countryside of south-western Timor shows up under fleecy cumulus clouds. The hills are partly bare and under erosion, contributing considerable sediment to the rivers. The rivers are seasonal with bars and islands in their channels. The straightness of the coast suggests geological control and a steep offshore slope. Heavy surf is visible. The depositional landscape at the mouths of the large rivers suggests recent alteration of the coastlines and river diversion.
