Just After Sunrise

People are too funny. There must have been a thousand people all up at 4:00 in the morning climbing into jeeps to take them across the crater and up to the popular view point to see the sunrise. Kayla and I woke up at 5:00, and there was no-one left….all were already making the trip along with the other thousands. We asked the jeep driver to take us to the “other” view point where there would be much less people. Perfect. He drove us through the village as high as we could get, and then we got out and walked the rest of the way UP. Two horsemen followed us persistently asking us if we wanted to take the horse up….I finally, after saying, “no” a hundred times, stopped and said to the horsemen (in Indonesian, of course) “I have told you NO several times already…you are welcome to follow us all the way to the top, tiring your horses, but you will not get a penny from me and my daughter…up to you…”…the one guy looked at the other guy, shrugged his shoulders, and took off down the hill…that left Kayla and I in peace to walk the rest of the way…we were the only ones at the look out point as the sun made its way up…we could really care less about the sunrise, and were waiting for the light to fall onto the crater and Mount Bromo. However, there were hundreds above us, and as soon as the sun came up, they were all making their way down the mountain….so funny, when the light was perfect down at the crater, everyone was leaving…they just wanted to see the sunrise…people are funny.

In any case, look at the beautiful light all of those “non-photographers” missed out on…

Other worldly beautiful.

Bromo Again

I have been to Bromo now three times. The first time, about 5 years ago, I had the perfect weather. When I went this past December, the weather was awful…never saw anything since the fog was so thick. June is supposed to be a great month to go, but for some reason, it is still the rainy season. I brought my daughter, Kayla with me this time, and the first day, it was rainy and cloudy. Our last morning, we got lucky, and the sun came out, and I was able to get a few decent shots. This is my favorite, but it is looking down the valley from Mount Bromo…

indah sekali pemandangannya…..

Behind Bogor Botanical Gardens

I love going “behind the scenes” when visiting places. There are tons of photos of the regular tourist places, but hardly anyone goes behind the scenes to grab photos. This is a good example…all of these discarded pots piled up against a wall with tons of texture….I love it.

A Crowd at Saint Peter’s

I was going through some of my old Italy photos, and came across this shot. This is just inside the entrance to St. Peter’s…we stood in line for a couple of hours to get inside….you can see the crowd entering the door in the front…I loved Italy, but next time I go there, it won’t be in the summer…too hot and too crowded.
