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.

The Pendung Semurup 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! See more detailed descriptions here: www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.599289883456558.1073741...

I like abandoned school because the pastel painted walls, the cool drininking fountains, the bathrooms where places were delightfully deranged, the smily face gold stars everywhere, and the gum under the formica coated desk tops. But when schools are abandoned you can hear the laughter in the halls but its only a ghost. You can smell the pecil dust falling from the sharpener but its only decay. School is out for the summer but come fall no one returns. Bells no longer ring and children no longer sing, but the voices are forver cemented in every footstep and finger print
As California's drought worsens and fines increase, I see these easily-accessed water supplies open to water theft.

As 'we' (including my guide :P) walked, it got darker and darker, and vegetation thicker and thicker. It was real off the beaten path experience... Add the chirping sounds of many species of birds, buzz of insects, whispers of leaves swinging in the sweet breeze of the morning, the 'ouch' sounds generated by me as I crawled under branches and was poked by the thorns...
