These waterfalls, approximately 15-20 meters in height, can be found on the eastern hills near the town of Semurup, and are reached after an easy, roughly one hour hike through relatively flat farmland and agroforest. Be prepared to get your feet wet wading through a few mountain streams on your way there.
Mt. Kunyit is an active volcano in the Kerinci Seblat National Park, Sumatra, Indonesia. The trek to the crater takes about six hours, and passes through beautiful cloud forests and beside fumrole volcanic vents. In the middle of the crater lies a bubbling hotspring, and what locals call "Taman Dewa" or "The Garden of the Gods." It has a spiritual, mythical place in local folklore, and is the site where local hero Depati Parbo meditated to supposedly gain invulnerability to Dutch bullets during the war for Kerinci.

A spring roadtrip exploring the Burnt River Canyon in Baker County
A beautiful day exploring the Burnt River Canyon between Durkee and Unity in Baker County Oregon .
The Burnt River Canyon near Durkee is always one of our favorite drives for taking in the majestic scenery of Eastern Oregon and watching wildlife along the way. Saw lots of wildlife this trip as colder temperatures have pushed lots of deer down into the canyon. We were excited to spot a few Bighorn Sheep this trip and a napping Barn Owl

A huge petrified log sits on top of a high mesa and erodes through time, falling down the side. I imagine this place at one time looked like today's Redwood Forest in a swamp. I bet it was amazing! But I wouldn't want to be wading in the waters then, I've seen what lurked below the surface (gulp!)

The festivities surrounding a Kenduri Sko festival in the village of Koto Renah, Kerinci, Sumatra, Indonesia. Close to midnight, villagers in the community of Koto Renah, Sungai Penuh, Kerinci gather to perform a dance in honor of their ancestors. During the dance, commonly performed throughout Kerinci during Kenduri Sko events, possession by ancestral spirits is common (sometimes taking the form of an ancestral tiger). On this night, cycles of dancing, singing, possession, and exorcism by the local "dukun" or shaman continued until 4 am.
You can see some of the event here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=t6U5w8xAXFw

The group was hurrying straight towards the dock on the other end of this island where the next boat was waiting.
The green light shining through the bamboo was alluring, so I hurried off up the mountain, into the bamboo forest, away from the crowd. And discovered this old temple, which had apparently been closed down for a long time. The place had something to it. The voices of the tourist horde had long since disappeared into the distance, and the only sound was that of the wind rustling through the bamboo and sun-dried leaves slowly tumbling to the ground in this searing, humid environment.
A special place, well chosen by the monks - I´m glad that I undertook this excursion on an impulse.
