(Tragulus javanicus) B28I4724.jpg Beauval - France
Java Mouse-Deer (Tragulus javanicus) is a species of even-toed ungulate in the family Tragulidae. When it reaches maturity it is about the size of a rabbit, making it one of the smallest ungulates. It is found in forests in Java and perhaps Bali, although sightings there have not been verified.
The Java mouse-deer prefers habitats of higher elevations and the tropical forest regions of Java, although it does appear at lower elevations between 400–700 metres (1,300–2,300 ft) above sea level. During the day, Java mouse-deer can be seen roaming in crown-gap areas with dense undergrowth of creeping bamboo, through which they make tunnels through the thick vegetation which lead to resting places and feeding areas. At night, the Java mouse-deer moves to higher and drier ridge areas. It has been argued that Java mouse-deer are an “edge” species, favoring areas of dense vegetation along riverbanks. Additionally, Java mouse-deer have been found to be more prevalent in logged areas than in the more mature forests, and their densities tended to decrease proportionately as the logged forests matured.

The mystical south coast of Java, near Yogyakarta. Locals belief that the sea is home to Ratu Kidul, the Queen of the Sea, who has her palace there. They are particularly superstitious that you should never swim in that - already very rough (and improper for swimming - sea while wearing something green, since Ratu Kidul will take you with her.

Mount Bromo (Indonesian: Gunung Bromo), is an active volcano and part of the Tengger massif, in East Java, Indonesia. At 2,329 metres (7,641 ft) it is not the highest peak of the massif, but is the most well known. The massif area is one of the most visited tourist attractions in East Java, Indonesia. The volcano belongs to the Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park. The name of Bromo derived from Javanese pronunciation of Brahma, the Hindu creator god.
Mount Bromo sits in the middle of a vast plain called the "Sea of Sand" (Javanese: Segara Wedi or Indonesian: Lautan Pasir), a protected nature reserve since 1919. The typical way to visit Mount Bromo is from the nearby mountain village of Cemoro Lawang. From there it is possible to walk to the volcano in about 45 minutes, but it is also possible to take an organised jeep tour, which includes a stop at the viewpoint on Mount Penanjakan (2,770 m or 9,088 ft) (Indonesian: Gunung Penanjakan). The viewpoint on Mount Penanjakan can also be reached on foot in about two hours. From inside the caldera, sulfur is collected by workers.
A probably 19th century (but possibly 18th century) house dating from the Dutch colonial period in Surabaya. The style reflects a merge between Dutch gable houses and local domestic architecture, and is adapted to the tropical climate. It is located in the charming and walkable "heritage kampung".
Probably, no Dutch person ever lived in this house. The house is located in a traditional, historical Javanese neighbourhood of the colonial town, since the colonial city was segregated into different neighbourhoods home to different ethnicities en religions (f.e.: the Dutch neighbourhood, Chinatown, the Malay-Arab Islamic neighbourhood, the Javanese neighbourhood).
What I personally love about these houses that they resemble very much some town houses in Willemstad, Curaçao (another former Dutch colonial town and UNESCO world heritage site), and the similar "cas di cunucu" of neighbouring Aruba (also a former Dutch colony), where I have my roots.
Surabaya was found during the mighty Hindu-Buddhist Majapahit Empire (13th to 16th century), when it served as a port nearby its fabulous capital. During this time, it received Muslim Sufi missionaries, such as Ampel, who preached here and thus found an Islamic base in Java from where the religion was further spread. The historic Ampel neighbourhood still has one of the oldest mosques of Indonesia. The town came into the hands of the Dutch East India Company (VOC) in the early 18th century, who further developped the town and introduced fascinating Dutch colonial architecture, but at the expense of the population and according to seggregation. Surabaya was the second most important port due to the export of sugar and tobacco from the interior. It was from here that, after the Japanese occupation in WWII, that the Indonesians and Sukarno declared independence from The Netherlands in 1945.
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 Sustainer (Vishnu) and the Destroyer (Shiva). The temple compound is located approximately 18 kilometres (11 mi) east of the city of Yogyakarta on the boundary between Central Java and Yogyakarta provinces.[
The temple, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is the largest Hindu temple in Indonesia, and is one of the largest Hindu temples 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.[ One of the most majestic temples in Southeast Asia, Prambanan attracts many visitors from across the world
