Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Cempa stilthouses

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Stilt houses on the island of Cempa, Indonesia, located in the Lingga Islands. Stilt houses are extremely common on coastal regions of southeast Asia, particularly in fishing villages.

Image created by Dheera Venkatraman (me). Just thought when I saw this that it really exemplified a rustic village of stilt houses built of traditional materials (as opposed to the more modern concrete stilts used in many villages today), illustrating the concept which is often not seen by inlanders and those in other regions of the world. I have a higher-resolution version (2592x1944) but am not sure how to replace an existing image.
