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".

Java Black bamboo in our backyard and a bit of intentional camera movement.
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
A species I couldn't get close shots of last time in Maui. It was very easy this time around. There was a waterfall at the hotel and I would watch these guys come in, drink, and bathe. I just laid patiently for whatever species to arrive and took advantage of this water feature. This was taken around sunset.

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.
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.
The Java Sparrow (Padda oryzivora) is a native of Indonesia, particularly Bali and Java. It lives in large flocks of up to 100 birds in both woodland and around rice paddies and rice is its staple diet. It is popular as a pet and has been introduced to other countries including the USA and India but it is declining in numbers due to trapping.

經過了兩天早上的實驗, 我和老公覺得在早晨光線不夠, 又沒陽光照耀的地方, 我們照鳥的裝備必須調整為7D+135mm, 及5D+400mm, 以這兩個相機和鏡頭的互補, 來抓取比較好的畫質. 等到陽光照到了, 就可再用7D+400mm遠距離去抓取敏感的小鳥.
因為7D+400mm handling 光線不佳的環境得能力實在太弱了!!! 在老公600mm因飛行不方便沒能攜帶在身的情況下, 這是最好的選擇了...至於5D+135就照照我們可愛的小孫孫和近景吧!! 012616

This was number 44 in my 1 to 100 project. I went back into my archives for many of the photos and this one was taken in 2012.
We're at the cafe chewing the fat out of Poetics. We're
drinking exotic java from Sumatra's steamy mountains with
jiggerfuls of Bailey's Cream. We're going to tear down
the Lyceum tonight and wake in the bushes tomorrow with
aftershocks still crackling in our heads. We're guzzling more
of this oily, liquid explosive and ranting about Aristotle,
the cantankerous old duck he became when he left Athens for
the boy king of Macedonia. Mist rises from our fevered brains,
obscuring the room and the jazz and the rhapsodies we take turns
reciting. I am having an out of body experience, my eyes
so full of blue light and wistfulness I can feel the reverb
of my words, the syllables lining up in their linear rows,
bumping into each other as they slinky forward, end over
slurpy end. Nature chooses the proper meter, Aristotle says
through Bramdass' voice, and I'm agreeing and flogging my
tongue about for emphasis, becoming more profound as I kick
off my wing tips and begin to levitate. We're dealing out
our full deck of vocabulary words now, two high rollers,
two java worshipers approaching our frenzied peaks, our
Machu Picchuan summit. One or two well chosen handholds
and we can haul ourselves onto the lowest rungs of heaven. We
are astonished by our radioactive brilliance, Bramdass fallen to
his knees, fallen flat in his green ravine of shag carpet, joy
spilling from his eyes, the heady drunken joy of misfits.

INDONESIEN, Java, hinduistische Tempelanlage Prambanan
Candi Prambanan (auch: Candi Rara Jonggrang) ist die größte hinduistische Tempelanlage Indonesiens und einer der größten hinduistischen Tempel in Südostasien. Sie befindet sich etwa 18 km östlich von Yogyakarta auf der Insel Java. Charakteristisch ist die hohe und spitze Bauform, die typisch für hinduistische Tempel ist, sowie die strenge Anordnung zahlreicher Einzeltempel um das 47 m hohe Hauptgebäude in der Mitte.
Errichtet wurde Prambanan um das Jahr 850, entweder unter Rakai Pikatan, einem König von Mataram, oder unter Balitung Maha Sambu während der Sanjaya-Dynastie. Schon bald nach seiner Fertigstellung wurde der Tempel verlassen und begann zu verfallen. Die Tempelanlage wurde 1991 von der UNESCO als Weltkulturerbe anerkannt.
Prambanan or Rara Jonggrang translit. 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 Transformer (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.[1]
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 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.
