These are the views of the South Sulawesi skyline, looking towards the east across the highland spine that runs down the length of the huge island. The pictures are taken from a downtown Makassar hotel over a 48 hour period. In the Sulawesi islands, also known as the Spice islands, the rainy season stretched from the end of the year to March. Indonesia has a population in excess of 255 million. The Sulawesi Islands are at the eastern end of the Indonesian archipelago – which stretches a length two and a half times that of Australia, with 13,700 islands – the largest in the world for any country.
