It's low tide, it's also the Month of Ramadan and everyone is fasting!
It's a mangrove swamp and you are likely to find mud skippers and an monitor lizard or two if you are lucky.
The river reminds me of where i was born and raised as a child in Sungai Pinang what is now part of Georgetown.

Just as the locals here would have had a heart attack if they were thrown into a snow country, those living in countries like Norway and Sweden would take a second breath had they been cast into this environment.
Whats the national flower? The hibiscus, or Bunga Raya known in Bahasa Malaysia (or Malay).
