Our plan was to arrive Tele before dawn in order to capture the amazing landscape of Lake Toba. We started our journey on the road about 7:00 pm, from Medan, North Sumatra. After traveling for more than eight hours, we finally arrived at Tele, Lake Toba about 4:00 am. In spite of the gloomy morning, I am quite pleased with this image that I captured. I love the fast changing scene and colour of the landscape.
I remember years ago, Lake Toba was one of the favorite destinations for honeymoon from Singapore. Obviously, most of the people have forgotten about this amazing location. Most probably is due to the condition of rough journey from Medan. Nevertheless, I still think the lake is another paradise in Indonesia for landscape photographer.

I sincerely would like to thank Pak Peter Chandra, Pak David J. Seares, Pak Budi, Pak Goenadi, Pak Halkin, Pak Tatang and all other members (total number of 15, pardon me for not mention all) of the group for inviting me to join this outing (3rd to 8th Dec. 2010). It is one of the most enjoyable trips that I have ever made.

  1. Love it. without sunlight, you have composed it very well. I like the foreground with red leafs color and the clouds that perfectly blanketing the valleys.

  3. Yes Mr. Tan. I have been in Iraq since March 09. Can’t take photos here, the situation is still very danger for expats, and I have to be inside green zone and follow all security protocols. Definitely will contact you when I stop by in Singapore. warm regards. John.
