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 hidden gem off the main road. As I was turning around on some back street to go back and shoot an old grocery store, we looked up a hill and caught a glimpse of this wonderful building. It's not visible from the main highway through town.
Construction of the building was finished in June of 1911. The final cost, art glass dome included, added up to $132,000. The Courthouse has undergone only minor remodeling during its history and essentially remains unchanged from the day it was built. The one exception was the cleaning and restoration of the art glass dome. Seventy years of accumulated dust and deteriorating soldering were finally ordered repaired in the spring of 1980. The price tag was $144,700, nearly $13,000 more than the cost of constructing the whole building in 1910.

As I said, I did a B&W variation of www.flickr.com/photos/jwvraets/22984468796/in/photostream/ and one of my family members wanted to see how it looked (a real B&W fan) so here it is. PP is virtually identical, with the obvious exception of the B&W conversion in GIMP (Film Simulation tool, Ilford Delta 100 model) and some local adjustments below the body to bring the detail up a bit) .I am still waffling on which I prefer. - JW

Photo walk in DC. Walking around DC with my oldest nephew. He was playing Tour Guide. Many of our excursions were to places off the beaten path for tourists. I loved it. Can't wait to get back to DC for more exploring with him. He loves photography as well.

awaiting... life to start anew.
Went to see a lovely 1 bedroom with MartÃn today. The view of the downtown skyline was ridiculous, and a decently nice building. Was very easy (too easy) to see us living there, drinking wine on the balcony, on a nice summer eve with friends.
