Evenings are the perfect time for filming along the river and in the maze of narrow canals and ox bow lakes created by the ever meandering river changing its course.
Fed by the monsoon rains, the waters in the lakes are pure black, leached through the fallen leaves of the swamp forests and the ancient peat of the Central Kalimantan lowlands. The black water creates the perfect glassy surface for reflections at once breath-taking and mysterious. Sometimes, looking at the reflections side on, great forest spirits appear to live in the dense foliage. Deer are native to the forests of Borneo, and in the trompe d'oeil here, appears to be decked with antlers.
