Not so well visible, but in the right corner is Borobudur. In the background is Mount Merapi volcano. You can hike there starting 10 pm and lasting 12 hours, but I won't do it.
My apologies if I'm slow commenting, I'm relying on a very weak wifi, which seems quite normal if you travel.

Borobudur, or Barabudur, is a 9th-century Mahayana Buddhist Temple in Magelang, Central Java, Indonesia. The monument consists of nine stacked platforms, six square and three circular, topped by a central dome. The temple is decorated with 2,672 relief panels and 504 Buddha statues. The central dome is surrounded by 72 Buddha statues, each seated inside a perforated stupa. It is the world's largest Buddhist temple, as well as one of the greatest Buddhist monuments in the world.
Mount Merapi, Gunung Merapi (literally Fire Mountain in Indonesian and Javanese), is an active stratovolcano located on the border between Central Java and Yogyakarta, Indonesia. It is the most active volcano in Indonesia and has erupted regularly since 1548.

In the foreground is Mount Batok (2,440 m), a perfectly shaped but not active volcano. The rather small steaming crater to the left is the active Bromo Volcano (2,329 m). And the impressive volcano in the background is Mount Semeru (3,676 m). Morning mist covers Segara Wedi, the so-called "Sea of Sands".

A fellow waterfaller and I actually caught some decent flow at Java Falls with the greenery due to a wet spring after visiting Letchworth State Park earlier

With fresh snow and freezing temperatures, a Burlington Northern freight climbs Montana’s Marias Pass at Java West on March 3, 1989, amidst the beauty of Glacier National Park in wintertime.
The Java House in San Francisco near the Giant's ballpark: a good place for breakfast and lunch.
Happy Slider's Sunday everyone.

Photographed in the Allen Lambert Galleria at Brookfield Place, Toronto. The back story: I noticed the light and shadows and waited for someone to *walk* through the shot. A few strolled by. But this guy came to a dead stop! ...in the middle of my frame!...took a long five second pull on his coffee (...CLICK...) and then walked on. Fluke? Or had he seen the camera and was just having some fun?! Dunno. Cropped and processed in PS.
Indonesia.
Uno dei luoghi più belli che io abbia mai visitato e dove certamente tornerò..
Ma la bellezza naturale di quei luoghi è creata da forze possenti, che di tanto in tanto, dal sottosuolo, fanno emergere la loro potenza distruttiva.. e tante vite si spengono in un attimo.
Il mio pensiero va a loro, oggi, gli Indonesiani... affinché non perdano mai il loro luminoso sorriso.
Nella foto, dal mio archivio, i gas e le esalazioni vulcaniche orlano le pendici delle caldere del Monte Bromo, Isola di Java.
