Ashes And Rocks
Mount Merapi (Mountain of Fire) is the most active volcano in Central Java, Indonesia and has erupted 68 times since 1548. The volcano is very close to Yogyakarta, and thousands of people live on the flanks of the volcano, with villages as high as 1700m above sea level. The eruptions recently caused a disaster to the surrounding area. I had an opportunity of visiting this area in July. You have to pay 5000 rupiah in order to enter the site. Obviously, this is one of the new attractions if you have visited Yogyakarta recently.
Sunrise At Tanah Lot
CAKolosal was a gathering of 5000 kecak dancers near the Tanah Lot Temple in Bali. To encourage world peace and support Bali Tourism, this record-breaking dance was performed on Friday, September 29th 2006. I will post some images later regarding this event. What I captured here is the Tanah Lot Temple on the morning of 30th September 2006. After the great event, to my surprise, the littering on the location was very minimal. The Tanah Lot Temple was brightly gazed by the morning sun. In order to include the reflection of the temple, I had to place my camera to a position almost touching the ground level. Without looking into the viewfinder, I was able to adjust my camera angle to capture this landmark of Bali in her serenity.
