How to place them

West to east, Rinjani to Keli Mutubuurai, the 4 mainland places cover 590 km. Borobudur, Tanah Lot, Bali, Tegallalang Rice Terraces, Bali, Mount Bromo, Mount Agung, Marapi, Lorentz National Park, Prambanan Temple and Sawahlunto have a card but no dot; the map stops short of them.

Between Mount Agung and Tambora at one end and Mount Bromo and Keli Mutubuurai at the other sit four medium photos. Tanah Lot, Bali is a Hindu temple on a rock islet cut off at high tide.
