Belah Kapal

During the day, the scorching heat of the sun seemed to burn like every part of my body. Sweat drops that began to cover my view must continue to wipe. This place is very dirty, the pungent odor from the welding fumes used to cut the thick sheet of iron plate seems to begin to cover my breathing. The noise from the grinding machine that kept spinning over the surface of the scrap metal seemed to want to damage my eardrum. But all that is not able to block my steps or discourage me to continue to take pictures in that place. For the sake of a beautiful work.

That place is called BELAH KAPAL. A place located on the north coast of Jakarta. In this place, ships that have stopped operating due to old age will be cut into pieces of scrap metal for recycling.

Below, is a collection of images that I took while visiting BELAH KAPAL
