Under layers of volcanic ash and jungle growth lay hidden for centuries, the monument of Borobudur in central Java, Indonesia. Believed to have been founded around 800 CE there is no written record of who the Borobudur was built for or its intended use.
The Mahayana Buddhist monument is decorated with 2672 relief panels and 504 Buddhas. The temple’s design in Gupta architecture reflects both Indian and Indonesian influence. The monument is now a place for Buddhist pilgrimage.
Borobudur, ancient mountain, was abandoned in the 14th Centurty as the Javanese converted to Islam. Tales of its past glory became intertwined with superstition of the falling of kings.
When viewed from above, Borbudur becomes the symbol of a giant tantric Buddhist mandala representing both Buddhist cosmology and the nature of mind. The design resembles a step pyramid built to appear like a mountain or a high place where ancestral spirits live. The monument is divided into three sections, each symbolising the Buddhist three realms - the world of desires (Kamadhatu), forms (Rupadhatu) and the formless world (Arupadhatu). In the world of desires, Kamadhatu, is where most sentient beings exist and is represented by the base of the monument. Those who no longer have attachment or desire for form live within Rupadhatu indicated by the five square platforms. Those that are able to go beyond form and experience existence in its purest state exist in the formless, often known as nirvana which is symbolised in the three circular platform and the large topmost stupa. The carvings of the Rupadhatu meld into the circular platforms of the Arupadhutu where all bodies and forms will eventually become formless.
In 1814, Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles, was advised of the location of the monument during his British rule of Java. Since then, the existence of Borobudur has become known worldwide and has undergone several restorations. The monument is now listed as a UNESCO World heritiage site.
Borobudur is still a place for pilgrimage and is one of Indonesia's most visited tourist attractions (hence the swollen feet of Ms A.)
The quality is not the same as my other captures on my other Hawaii photo's. These guys are small and fast and so focusing on them is quite difficult.
The Java Sparrow is 17 cm in length. The adult is unmistakable, with its grey upper parts and breast, pink belly, white-cheeked black head, red eye-ring, pink feet and thick red bill.
Both sexes are similar, but immature birds have brown upper parts and paler brown under parts and cheeks. The rest of their head is dark grey rather than black, and the bill is grey with a pink base.
The call is a chip, and the song is a rapid series of call notes chipchipchipchipchipchip.

I bought one of those tennis ball launchers the other day.... I thought to myself why don't I have one of these I use to.... after the first throw I remembered... How can a dog that is so gentle retrieving birds be so hard on tennis balls???? After the first thow Java's tennis ball was a scrunch ball! If you view this photo large size you will see the tennis ball is not really round anymore! ...silly boy!

Richland County. Java was located on the south side of the Missouri River and straddled the Montana/North Dakota state line. It was named for the first postmaster, Anton Jevnager, who also owned the local grocery and hardware store. A post office was active in Java from 1907 (July 1) to 1913 (March 22). Immediately across the Missouri River (and visible in the photo) from the site of Java is the reconstructed Fort Union.

Pictures taken on Java-Eiland in Amsterdam, which underwent major renovation and residential buildings have been erected.
The text states "You never catch sight of me there where I see you" in five different languages, such as German and Russian. Five other languages are shown in the hallway next to this one, as seen on this picture. The telescope is a nice detail with the text.
