Droning in the Highlands

MPone · Dec 22, 2019

The Cameron Highlands is a district in Pahang, Malaysia occupying an area of 275 sq miles. The area was surveyed by geologist William Gordon Cameron, a British explorer and geologist who was commissioned by the then colonial government to map out the Pahang-Perak state border area in 1885. It has eight settlements - Ringlet, Tanah Rata, Brinchang, the Bertam Valley, Kea Farm, Tringkap, Kuala Terla, Kampung Raja and Blue Valley. All are nestled at elevations ranging from 2600 feet to 5259 feet above sea level. Developed in the 1930s, the tableland is one of the oldest tourist spots in Malaysia. Apart from its tea estates, the plateau is also noted for its cool weather, orchards, nurseries, farmlands, waterfalls, rivers, lakes, wildlife, mossy forest, golf course, hotels, places of worship, bungalows, and aborigines.

Very vivid colors! Spectacular! The tea cultivation is fascinating with the parallel rows marching over ridges and valleys. I guess that allows people to harvest leaves from both sides of the "row"?

Color saturation could be added with Davinci R.
Yes, the rows of path is for the workers to pluck the tea leaves. Only the young leaves are wanted. All done by hand.
