Fleeting moments frozen in time
Another view of a local Tenggerese tribe member coaxing his horse to move off on Mount Bromo. I simply love the lighting that greeted us that morning. The dusty atmosphere created such a nice mood that it was worth all the cleaning I had to do on both my DSLRs and lenses after the outing!
Still revolving around the wedding at Ceromo Lawang…
As mentioned, the wedding ceremony was very much a solemn affair. While the rites/prayers were taking place, the groom and bride set solemnly, resplendent in their garb and makeup (is this where George Lucas found his inspiration for the costumes/design for Queen Amidala in Star Wars? ;)). I wonder what the couple was thinking then. For the boy, one thing seemed obvious: he probably couldn’t wait for the whole ceremony to be over and for the feasting to begin! 😛
While waiting for the wedding procession to begin at Ceromo Lawang, we spotted this villager putting out her laundry to dry. When we approached her to take pictures, she posed obligingly for us. I liked the colours and lighting that has been brought out due to the contrast with a subdued background.
