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.

The Java sparrow (Padda oryzivora), also known as Java finch, Java rice sparrow or Java rice bird, is a small passerine bird. This estrildid finch is a resident breeding bird in Java, Bali and Bawean in Indonesia. It is a popular cage bird, and has been introduced into many other countries. Some taxonomists place this and the Timor sparrow in their own genus Padda.

Java

You are my morning coffee

My java

My caffeine

And my wake-up call

Each morning

And each day

You wake me with kisses

Change my night dreams

To day dreams

Smile like a sun rising

And give me a thousand reasons

To rise and shine

You are my café au lai

My cappuccino

Hot stuff

Jamocha

Joe

Full of punch

Soft with the touches

And tender like the night

You perk me up

Pick me up

And make my day

I simply adore simple people with a good will, not that I hate the rich, but there's something special about the former. A javanese lady who made me some decent home brewed Java coffee. Fortunately or unfortunately I only got a lo-fi shot from her, and I hoped to return this printed picture to her someday...

The red line's from a messed up roll of Kodak Aerochrome by the Fuji GA645i infrared film-spacing sensor (which of course is registered by an infrared film!). Oh why o why Fuji engineers had to put the sensor in the centre, and not into the corner! I should have known better :-P I guess we live and learn - the GA645i is a fantastic camera, but it's NOT for infrared films.

The palace (keraton) of Surakarta, where its sultans and their families have and still lived, although nowadays they have a more ceremonial function locally. The large palace complex beautifully integrates various artistic influences, such as: Javanese, Hindu-Buddhist, Islamic, colonial Dutch and even Chinese.
