Serenity Of Borobudur

L7780401
This image of Borobudur was taken almost one year ago. Actually, I visited Borobudur in May and attended the Vesak Day celebration. I went back again in July. I was relief to see Borobudur intact even after Jogyakarta was shaken by the serious earthquake(27.05.2006). Both of my visits were my commitment of serving in the panel of selector for the Vesak Photographic Competition. I was rather pleased to be at Borobudur again to sense the serenity of the place, especially after the judging of the competition. The warm colour of the morning sun added colour to the monochromatic setting of the environment.

Landscape Of Kawah Putih

L7781468
A close up view of “ Crater Of Kawah Putih”, located at about 30 km to the south of Bandung, West Java – Indonesia. This is one of the crater lakes formed by explosive excavation. The water with an approximate depth of 8m is hyperacid. The condition of the water is the result from the condensation of SO2, H, S, and HCL gases near the lake bottom.
Obviously, the chemical content of the lake has affected the colour of the water.
