Get up early in Indonesia and you will experience the most beautiful sunrises. This one is from Easyt Java!
The Copernicus Sentinel-2B satellite takes us over Semarang, Indonesia. A port city on the north coast of Java, Semarang is the fifth-largest city in the country, covering some 374 sq km and home to just over 1.5 million people.
This true-colour image shows the heart of the bustling regional commercial centre in the bottom-left, where a range of industries from fishing to glass manufacture and textiles operate. Exports of rubber, coffee, shrimp, tobacco, and cacao, among other products, pass through the city’s harbour, which can also be seen in the bottom-left of the image.
The Java Sea dominates the left part of the image. Flood management remains an ongoing challenge for the area, with the city being prone to tidal flooding.
The island nation of Indonesia is particularly vulnerable to sea-level rise. Some parts of Semarang, such as the residential area of Candi Baru, shown in the bottom-left of the image, stand just above sea level.
In the right of the image we can see mainly agricultural land, with rice fields stretching across the landscape. Land subsidence has been widely reported in the area, particularly in the northern part of Semarang, accelerated by population increases and urban development.
The impacts of subsidence include the wider expansion of (coastal) flooding areas, cracking of buildings and infrastructure, and increased inland seawater intrusion.
Sentinel-2 is a two-satellite mission for land monitoring, providing imagery of soil and water cover, inland waterways and coastal areas, for Europe’s Copernicus environmental monitoring programme. Wide swath Sentinel-2 data can also contribute to monitoring land-use change that triggers erosion, forest and wildfires, and the onset of floods.
This image, which was captured on 9 May 2018, is also featured on the Earth from Space programme, here www.esa.int/spaceinvideos/Videos/2018/11/Earth_from_Space...

Prambanan es un conjunto de más de 200 templos hindúes que están dedicados a la Trímurti, la expresión de Dios como el Creador (Brahma), el Preservador (Visnú) y el Destructor (Shivá).
El conjunto está ubicado a unos 18 km al este de Yogyakarta en dirección a Surakarta. Los templos fueron construidos durante el siglo IX bajo la dinastía Sanjaya del primer Reino de Mataram en la región de Java Central.
Una inscripción fechada en el año 856 marca lo que es posiblemente su piedra fundacional. El Conjunto de Prambanan está clasificado como Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la Unesco desde el año 1991.

Candi Prambanan or Candi Rara Jonggrang is a 9th-century Hindu temple compound in Central Java, Indonesia, dedicated to the Trimurti, the expression of God as the Creator (Brahma), the Preserver (Vishnu) and the Destroyer (Shiva). The temple compound is located approximately 17 kilometres (11 mi) northeast of the city of Yogyakarta on the boundary between Central Java and Yogyakarta provinces.
The temple compound, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is the largest Hindu temple site in Indonesia, and one of the biggest in Southeast Asia. It is characterized by its tall and pointed architecture, typical of Hindu temple architecture, and by the towering 47-metre-high (154 ft) central building inside a large complex of individual temples. Prambanan attracts many visitors from around the world.

Recovered from a rather under exposed transparency, PJKA 2-6-2T C3073 departs Lubuklinggau, in South Sumatra, with what I think is local short-working towards Lahat - 29 August 1978. The irony is at one stage on the incoming working we were told we weren't allowed to ride on the front of the engine!
Built by Hanomag C3073 was one of 93 of these 2-62-Ts that were delivered by Hohenzollern, Borsig, Werkspoor and Hanomag in 1929/30 for the Staats Spoorwegen.

When I was working for the Higher Colleges of Technology in Dubai Men's College, the school had regular academic years. So, we left for the entire summer of 1992 to explore Indonesia for the first time. We flew into Jakarta and went slowly south towards Bali and spent a lot of time here. We travelled in both directions by a combination of trains and buses and ferries.
