June 2011 - A large deserted place on the slopes of the Mount Merapi volcani is what is left of a lush green forested area after pyroclastic flows came down it's slopes. Images of the aftermath of the most recent eruption of the Mount Merapi volcano in central Java, late October 2010. The enormous destruction in the area of Kinahrejo and Kali Kuning can clearly be seen on these pictures. Reconstruction of this once green forested area will take many years, although some resilient villagers have taken the first steps already.
