I spotted this oldtimer somewere in Central Java, although most cars are very old, cars like these are very very rare in that region.
The Cetho temple (candi) dates to the 15th century, and was one of the last major Hindu temples built in Java before Islamic rule took over the island. The style of temple is also quite distinct, since it diverges significantly from the older temples around Yogyakarta, which were more similar to the Indian style. Instead, here one can recognise a temple style similar to the typical Hindu temples of Bali, suggesting that the style was developed in Java first.
The temple is still used by a small Javanese Hindu community that lives on the slope of Lawu Mountain. These are one of the few Hindu communities which have preserved their Hindu religion in the face of Islamisation, thanks to their relative isolation.

Java Sparrow (Padda oryzivora), also known as the Java Finch, Java Rice Sparrow, or Java Rice Bird.
Appearance: They are small, about 15-17cm long, with a distinctive gray body, a black head, white cheeks, a thick red bill, and pink feet.
Native Range: Java Sparrows are native to Java, Bali, and Bawean in Indonesia, but they are also popular cage birds and have been introduced to many other countries.
Diet: In the wild, they primarily feed on rice and other seeds.
Social Behavior: They are known for their social monogamy, characterized by mutual courtship and long-lasting pair bonds.
Mating Indicator: Research suggests that in pair-bonded Java Sparrows, the enlargement of their eye rings can signify their readiness to mate.
On est si petit, le monde est si grand
Que serait la vie sans notre maman?
Elle sait d'un mot redonner confiance
Et faire oublier nos chagrins d'enfant.
Refrain
Ma maman est une maman
Comme toutes les mamans
Mais voilà c'est la mienne
Et pour moi qui peut sous mon toit
Apporter la joie?
Voyez-vous, c'est la mienne
Un regard suffit entre nous
Pour deviner notre pensée
Alors je la prends par le cou
Et je la couvre de baisers
Ma maman est une maman
Comme toutes les mamans
Mais voilà c'est la mienne.

Timing is one most important for Landscape Photographer. This shot is the one of my experience how important to prepare properly before execution. I was set my GND 150mm filter, mounted tripod in right place and wait for burning sky shows.
Prambanan is a the second largest Hindu temple in the world, reaching 47 meters high, and constructed during the 9th century. It was built during the Hindu-Buddhist Mataram kingdom of Central Java, when a new civilisation was flourishing under Indian Hindu influence and by the fertility provided by the neighbouring Merapi volcano. Within 100 years of construction, the Prambanan complex was already abandoned. Disastrous volcanic eruptions, as the oppression on the population by exhausting temple construction, could have led to a collapse, which urged the court and people to move to east Java, where later the Majapahit Empire was found.
