To go with AFP story Asia-anniversary-tsunami-Indonesia-reconstruction,FEATURE by Arlina Arshad
This picture taken on November 30, 2014 shows a man standing on a beach in Meulaboh, Indonesia’s Aceh province. Rows of new houses and beautiful mosques with glittering minarets give little clue that the sleepy Indonesian fishing town of Meulaboh was the ground zero of the 2004 Asian tsunami, highlighting the success of a multi-billion-dollar reconstruction effort. The peaceful scenes now are a contrast to those a decade ago in the community in Aceh province, on the northern tip of Sumatra island, which was closet to the epicentre of a monster earthquake that generated the killer waves.
