Malang

The Tengger caldera is a product of a massive and violent eruption about a hundred thousand and fifty years ago. From any of the peaks flanking around it, like this mountain range of Malang, the caldera is a surreal flat of volcanic gray sand. Misleadingly, the caldera does not look anywhere as high as the 2,000 meters elevation it really is.

 

phototip: The horizontality of layered mountain ranges can sometimes be served by panoramic crops.
