Austin Java on Barton Springs Rd. In Austin of course..:) Great coffee and hand made Poptarts..:) Life is good. All kidding a side, it is a great place to get coffee, and all there locations have cool atmospheres. The food..Not so much..;) In fact, the food isn't that great in any of there locations. But, hay, they look cool.
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".

Jeune femelle orang-outan de Bornéo née en octobre 2018 à la Ménagerie du Jardin des Plantes.
«C’est une naissance exceptionnelle confiait Dylan Duby, vétérinaire au jardin des Plantes, à l'annonce de la naissance de Java, nous n’en avions plus eu ici depuis 13 ans». Les orangs-outans de Bornéo ont vu leur population diminuer de moitié en 20 ans et les naissances en captivité sont donc précieuses. « C’est important de conserver des espèces et de maximiser leur diversité génétique, expliquait alors Michel Saint-Jalme, directeur du zoo. Cela permet de réintégrer des animaux dans leur milieu naturel, s’ils venaient à disparaître. Des espèces comme les oryx d’Arabie ou le cheval Przewalski ont ainsi pu échapper à l’extinction».
Lonchura oryzivora. Originally found in Indonesia this bird has been introduced elsewhere and has been popular as a caged bird for many years.
This picture was taken at the Living Rain Forest, near Newbury, Berks.
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.

Feed me next please, I’m starving !
Three baby Java Sparrows, only recently fledged from the nest, wait patiently in-line to be fed by one of their parents.
Actually, the sentence above is a complete lie …. :)
The three fledglings were in fact desperately scrambling over one another in order to be fed first by their parents.
This was simply a case of right time, right moment, lucky capture …. giving a false impression the three fledglings were actually queuing in an orderly manner !
NOTE: These are not wild birds; this image was captured in a large outdoor aviary.
Thank you for your interest, views, faves, comments and awards ! This image was captured in Hong Kong 香港. (Best viewed on a larger screen.)

Cuando ella descubrió la verdad, rechazó la propuesta de matrimonio de Sangkuriang imponiéndole una condición: debÃa construir una canoa en una sola noche. Al no lograrlo antes del amanecer, Sangkuriang enfureció y dio una patada a la canoa, que quedó volteada y se convirtió en el monte Tangkuban Perahu.
