Fleeting moments frozen in time
While walking in the backstreets of Florence, Italy with our tour group, I came across this worker working by his yellow truck. The brilliant sunlight falling on the truck as well as the details attracted me as I snapped this in a split second — I couldn’t have stayed long or I would have lost touch with the rest of the group (who were walking at a brisk pace)!
Another view of a local Tenggerese tribe member coaxing his horse to move off on Mount Bromo. I simply love the lighting that greeted us that morning. The dusty atmosphere created such a nice mood that it was worth all the cleaning I had to do on both my DSLRs and lenses after the outing!
Still revolving around the wedding at Ceromo Lawang…
As mentioned, the wedding ceremony was very much a solemn affair. While the rites/prayers were taking place, the groom and bride set solemnly, resplendent in their garb and makeup (is this where George Lucas found his inspiration for the costumes/design for Queen Amidala in Star Wars? ;)). I wonder what the couple was thinking then. For the boy, one thing seemed obvious: he probably couldn’t wait for the whole ceremony to be over and for the feasting to begin! 😛
