Taken on vacation trips

“Now be nice and say you’re sorry!”

"Now be nice and say you're sorry!"
Local Tenggerese tribe members operate the horse rides that take visitors up the slopes of Mount Bromo. There were many of them volunteering to take people on their ascent and descent along the powdery (from volcanic sulphuric ash) slopes of Mount Bromo. They became the main subjects of many of our candid shots :). I like this particular one because it seemed to be telling a story. I am not sure what the actual exact conversation was but I think the above caption seems appropriate 😛

Dance Of The Clouds

Dance Of The Clouds
The sky might have been “bland” in my previous post (although I still love the colours and the silhouettes!), but the clouds finally decided to put on a spectacular show for us in the evening. This is one of many shots I took as the sun descended over the village nearby our hotel in the Cemoro Lawang area. The cloud patterns changed very quickly over a short span of minutes — I will post more pictures for comparison in the near future 😀

Good Morning Bromo

Good Morning Bromo
One of the must-dos when visitng Mount Bromo: get up at 4am, take either a horse or jeep to the foot of the mountain, and trudge up the mountain in the dark. Your reward: pristine clear skies with thousands of twinkling stars (sometimes a shooting star or two if you’re lucky) during the climb, and a glorious sunrise when you finally arrive. This particular shot of sunrise at Mount Bromo was taken at about 5.30am just slightly after we arrived from our climb.
